It isn’t hard to point out the failures of Democrats. They’re so numerous it would be difficult to compile a comprehensive list of them. But two recent political gambits by congressional Democrats are falling flat on their face. Biden’s SCOTUS Commission and the congressional J6 commission have completely failed in their purpose of hiding their incompetence in managing anything larger than a fundraising dinner.
Democrats successfully managed to whip their base into a frenzy over the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. It seems like ages ago now, but the #MeToo crowd that trashed Kavanaugh was nowhere to be found when Trump was able to nominate a second Supreme Court justice, Amy Coney Barrett, who was attacked for merely being a mother Democrats didn’t like.
Democrats overestimated their base’s ability to maintain fake outrage for any meaningful length of time. Biden waited roughly six months to establish the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States to come up with recommendations for dealing with the fact that justices were appointed that they didn’t like. One would think the outcome of such a partisan commission, roughly 80% of whom are from Harvard or Yale, would be to recommend term limits and court packing (which is adding justices to the court, not to be confused with “appointing justices we don’t like”).
Unfortunately, the “commission” has failed to deliver the political goods. Not that the Democrat base has even noticed. Besides being completely pointless, the commission throws cold water all over the concept of expanding the court as well as implementing term limits on SC justices.
Not waiting for the partisan paint to dry, Nancy Pelosi established the J6 commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection further harass Trump supporters.

There should be term limits fo SCOTUS.
I don’t think 90 year olds should be determining rules they won’t have to live by.
