    He can pack the supreme court. Then limit it to something tangible.

    Like first, say that 2 senators per state is silly and it needs to be based on population like the house if reps. Then say that we need a supreme court justice from all 50 states + D.C. or some shit.

    Boom.

    Then term limits, age limits… Ranked choice, strict laws in gerrymandering…

    And we have a functioning Republic again.

      None of that is in within the power of POTUS.

      The structure of Congress is determined by The Constitution and its Amendments.

      Congress needs to pass enlarging the Supreme Court with a vote, and Republicans have House majority.

          There are so many misinformed people on this ruling. It doesn’t give the President more executive authority, like a king. It lets him commit crime without personal responsibility if it’s an official act.

          Yes, it’s insane and deplorable, but it doesn’t mean Biden can do anything he wants.

          If it did, he could just outlaw felons from becoming President. SCOTUS doesn’t want that.
