(2,623 posts)not requiring voting. We already have enough voters who don't do their research. Somebody who doesn't want to vote might just flip a coin.
Term limits for SCOTUS--so they don't pick them young and inexperienced and you don't have someone like Sandra Day OConnor turning over an election because she wants to retire. And the Senate can't deny a president his appointments because every president appoints 2 justices per term, and you don't get one president who appoints 3 in one term and another none. Size of court changes, and thats ok.
No money in politics seems unrealistic but lets start by repealing Citizens United.
No term limits for Senators. We need the Patrick Moynihans and the Bernie Sanders.
But the Senate should be proportional, like Congress. Then we can stop arguing about whether DC or PR should be states.
And if we end the electoral college it won't matter how the states are divided up so much.
I like one bill at a time so you have to vote on the merits of each one. But if we research it closely we might find some important bills needed attached bills to get through. For example, were SS or Voting Rights Act stand alone? (I don't know, just asking).
When this nightmare is over, yeah, let's also prosecute the enablers. Including Justices who voted for presidential immunity.
