So? What does that accomplish? SCOTUS will simply overturn every ruling that Trump tells them to. Suing does little more than Schumer’s “strongly worded letters” at this point.

Suing them now creates a proper record of their atrocities that cannot be conveniently deleted when Trump leaves office. A court record can be a treasure trove of evidence and new leads. We must investigate and prosecute every last one of them for their crimes once they are voted out.

Which is why I am furious that Biden refused to expand the court. It really DOES make it look like everyone was in on it. He wouldn't even consider it. WHO CARES how many Justices we end up with. 13 (one for every district) would hve , at least given us a CHANCE and some balance.

Exactly. Which fire to put out first? Biden inherited NO PLAN for vaccine distribution, and saving American lives was top priority. I get it. Then he appoints Garland - a Federalist Society poster boy - to DRAG HIS FEET over 1/6. The game clock was run down, and it was intentional.

He had the will, the sleazeball Republicans in the Senate wouldn’t move on it and effectively blocked any appointments by Obama in his final year. I will blame RBG for not stepping aside when she should have. By holding on as long as she did, she made certain that she was replaced by a scumbag.
