    With Joe stepping down and a surge of support for Kamala, is there a point where the Supreme Court has to accept they’re not winning this time and switch to clean house of people who overplayed their hand?

      What? No, definitely not. They’re appointed for life and don’t have to give a shit about anything Kamala could possibly do.

      (Well, short of using the immunity they gave Trump to Seal Team Six them, I guess, but no Democrat is likely to do that and they know it.)

        If Democrats are ever lucky enough to get 2/3rds of the Senate (and 51% of the House), at that point the Supreme Court might start to think twice about their decisions.

        Edit: unfortunately unlikely, though

          Grossly unlikely. We’re likely to see the country continue to consolidate most of the population into a few states. We could be seeing a situation in the next few cycles where it’s outright impossible for Democrats to win the senate while blowing out the House and Presidential vote.
