It's going to be hard work. And it is going to take a long time. So our party needs consistent messaging on these topics over an extended timeframe. The system won't be fixed in just a few years.

…can be passed pretty quickly to undo some of the worst decisions, as long as there’s a willingness to use this clause.

We have some disadvantages.

The Electoral College makes it harder for us to win the White House because Republicans can more easily win while losing the popular vote.

The Senate is worse. Becase tiny states also get two senators, Republicans can control the Senate while only winning a minority of the vote. These stats keep getting worse as state populations diverge. And unless we kill the filibuster (which we should) the Republicans can block almost anything with even a smaller percentage of the vote.

We also face massive amounts of propaganda from extremely well-funded conservative media outlets that dwarf anything we have. Just imagine we (somehow) had a candidate as bad as Trump. We'd lose more than 40 states in the election. Maybe all 50.

There will be no court reform or expansion in the remainder of Biden’s term.

I would like to hear what Harris’s position on expansion is.

It’s nice to imagine a Dem controlled house and senate adding jurisdiction-stripping language to numerous laws, including the codifying of Roe, but one must remember, all it would take it a suit from a state AG to get a case before SCOTUS.

That’s why court expansion must be an essential component of the first 100 days of the Harris administration, whether she explicitly campaigns on it or not.

Any new legislation to protect basic American principles - womens’ rights, voters’ rights, air and water, etc., would have to be written with the clause denying the SC jurisdiction - otherwise, yes, it would soon be changed.

Hopefully, voters will deliver some progress in November, and then that general trend will continue in smaller increments each election cycle for awhile. This country needs to find some trend of sanity instead of wide swings of alternating partisan influence.

There should be ethics rules that they all have to follow and if they break them, they should be impeached. If they are especially egregious like Clarence Thomas, they should be convicted. The Supreme Court must know they are not above the law, and neither is the President. That needs to be fixed immediately. No one would have ever guessed that they were so weak and incompetent to come up with such a ruling. But they did.
