The SCOTUS needs to be disbanded or additional Dem judges sworn in. For context, right now in Louisiana, voting districts are being redrawn to exclude/get rid of a historically Black seat. This is racism in practice.

Erroneously thinking you've taken intelligence tests, when the tests were administered because doctors are (repeatedly) concerned you have dementia and may pose a danger to yourself and others, is probably yet another sign that you actually do have dementia.
