7. Expand the Court - everything else is secondary

Everybody take a good look at your wish lists of priorities.

Now, take a breath, and face the reality that absolutely nothing on your lists is possible without first expanding the court and killing the filibuster to do so.

With the filibuster in place, any bill can be blocked in the senate.

With the current majority on the court, any law that passes can be overturned.
