7. We could have ended this and kept it from getting this far by neutralizing that damn court when we had control

of congress in 2020, and there were plenty of calls to amend the judiciary act, which would have required the somewhat risky, but very bold move of getting rid of the senate filibuster, which needs to be gone anyway. And then, after adding five open seats, packing that damn court and neutralzing those six criminal conspirators who were appointed by Republicans.

I have not yet had a single Democratic party politician give a reasonable explanation of why that was not done, one that would show some resolution and courage, things which were in very short supply in the Department of Justice at that same time. In addition to having sympathetic justices on the court who would have ripped Trump's cases away from the corrupt fools who had them, and got him fairly tried for insurrection and classified document theft, and ended his interminable delays by ruling against his motions and moving his trials forward, they could also have overturned citizens united and the presidential immunity ruling, saved Roe and kept Trump and any one in his entourage out of Washington for good.

But our party leadership felt that might look too political.

That explains why David Hogg is doing what he is doing.
