Term limits? No. Unconstitutional and does not address the problem!
Court packing? Yes! Add more Justices. No law bars adding more judges to #SCOTUS.

A telescope improves with more inches, and more judicial minds will equal greater light gathering power!

Seems we have the lowest representation of House members to population in the world, among nations who say they are democratic.

A discussion by Elie Mystal on Fresh Air took ne down this rabbit hole---I had no idea, and I wonder of many people do?

Elie Mystal at The Nation points out the (obvious) racist attitude in the list of recent fires (or is it “lay off?) at MSNBC. His personal experience of Joy Reid’s work to expand the tv expert commentary pool is an important argument. Her (virtual) Rolodex is more valuable than anyone else’s on the network. #MSNBC #msnbcfail #msnbctoowhite #ReidOut #massacre #JoyReid #ElieMystal https://www.thenation.com/article/society/joy-reid-reidout-cancellation/?utm_source=Sailthru

#JoyReid’s #MSNBC show #TheReidOut is cancelled.

“I owe the television part of my career to Joy Reid, as do so many other #Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her,” #journalist #ElieMystal posted on social media. “And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.”

"#Project2025 is a plan to steal power through executive action, knowing that neither the #courts nor anyone is able to stop them." --#ElieMystal nails it on MSNBC just now." #TrumpDictatorship

A Line-by-Line Breakdown of #Trump’s #BirthrightCitizenship Executive Order

- #ElieMystal

Like a clogged sewer erupting into the streets, Donald Trump returned to office on Mon, &, as promised, unleashed his filth upon the country. In a flurry of #lawless, #unconstitutional, #racist, #bigoted, #violent, &, in some cases, plainly stupid #ExecutiveOrders & #pardons, Trump set his reign of #terror in motion. The future we feared has officially arrived.

"But they [media] will cover a sitting Congressperson standing w/activists to prevent a bus full of immigrants from rolling across the border...differently. They will cover a bunch of Senators shuttling undocumented immigrants into National Cathedral & claiming “sanctuary” while daring Pam Bondi & Kristi Noem to shoot their way inside _like the national crisis it is_."

The #SupremeCourt's Hearing on #TransRights :heart_trans: Was Bigotry Masquerading As #Law

by #ElieMystal

#TransAndNonbinaryRightsAreHumanRights :heart_trans: :heart_nb:
#ProtectTransKids :heart_trans: #TN #Tennessee

Decision in spring 2025

FYI: Protect Children's Innocence Act is an antiTrans HATE bill by ogre MTG, #MarjoryTaylorGreene 💩 , and signed onto by scumbag #JDVance

America: You HAVE TO STOP these #Christofascist scumbag ogres. And the #farright KNOWS they are KILLING #transyouth!! They WANT #transkids to unalive themselves, the want transpeople to suffer, and my fear is the #UK #farright copycats will brainlessly follow along and like Beavis, say 'me too, me too,heh, heh, me too'

#STOPFASCISTS

In a better world, Elie Mystal would be one of 29 US Supreme Court justices

"People need to stop asking Democrats to play by different rules than Republicans, and they need to stop asking Biden to be a worse father than any of us would be in his place."

@cjpaloma @Lana I first learned about that second paragraph in Allow Me To Retort by #ElieMystal. An awful lot of BS could be avoided if it were applied as written.
