let me be very clear: everything is on the table. [View all]

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court:

In the new Congress, weâ€™re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.

I like Jeffries. I can't wait to see him as Speaker of the House. I know a lot of others feel differently and are vocal about ousting him. However, he has only been in a minority position, and I am not just talking about his skin color.
