"Expanding the court looks like the only way, filling the new seats with sane jurists"
Yes, but that would require a Democratic president and a pretty strong Democratic majority in the House and Senate. If the Republicans are successful in their cu…
"They wouldn't be taking that state legislature case if they weren't going to take a wrecking ball to the overall electoral system"
That's what I'm afraid of also. If they do, how will we ever unwind this sabotage?

US justice department urges supreme court to reject Trump appeal on Mar-a-Lago document
Excerpts from a current article in The Guardian, edited for brevity:

Yes, right now Britain is in the midst of a real mess, thanks in large part to the libertarian-influenced changes introduced by Prime Minister Elizabeth Truss.

An observation regarding links: Don't know if it's my aging eyeballs or today's monitor screens, but most of the time I just can't see a "link" by text color differentiation.
That's why anytime that I post a link I underline it so that it stands ou…

OK, here's the deal: I start a couple of etfs, and you guys bet against me. You'll all make a fortune, but I get 10% of what you get. Why didn't we think of this a long time ago?
