It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.

Summer 2015. Several lifetimes ago. A different America. Lindsey Graham, running for president, says this about Joe Biden. The same summer he said Trump would “kill” the GOP with his hateful comments. Several lifetimes ago. A different America.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

“I Cannot Be in Favor of War” — Pope Leo XIV's Wide-Ranging In-Flight Press Conference From Africa
On the flight back from Africa, Leo addressed Iran, migration, the death penalty, and LBGTQ issues. He said he carries a photo with him of a Lebanese boy who was killed in the conflict.

Reforming our system can sound academic - but it's key to delivering what America needs: sane foreign policy, higher wages, affordable housing, guaranteed health care, and a fair tax system.

Considering the all out propaganda blitz from the Trump regime through the massive right wing echo chamber of online influencers, right-wing cable networks, social media, talk radio, and subservient traditional media amplifying that propaganda - this 30% number is brutal for the regime.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

John Roberts and other fox news granpas have themselves to thank for Trump toadies flirting with ignoring court orders www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity combines with its regulatory decisions this term to remake the executive branch into the ideal right-wing combination of impotence and power: too weak to regulate, restrain, or punish private industry for infractions, but strong enough for the president to order his political opponents murdered or imprisoned. To ordinary people, the president is a king; to titans of industry, he is a pawn. Given the work the Trump justices have done here, the billionaire class’s affection for Trump, often presented as counterintuitive, is not difficult to understand.

Yet when it comes to the justices’ decision on immunity, they were too clever by half. They seem to believe that when a president goes too far for their taste, they can declare that he’s not immune and constrain him. But there is danger in a ruling that invites presidents to test the limits of their power. By the time a rogue president goes too far, he is unlikely to care what the Supreme Court says. A president unbound by the law is shackled only by the dictates of his own conscience, and a president without a conscience faces no restraint at all. And because the Court ruled as it did, when it did, and on behalf of a man lawless enough to try to overturn an election, Americans may pay for the justices’ hubris sooner rather than later.
