“Aside from a Trump win, there’s one saving grace, and that’s the death of Ruth Ginsburg. Not a lock, of course, with Roberts on the Court, but still a very powerful branch that has the potential to shut down Democrat overreach by the executive and legislative branches.”
I disagree. The senate will hold packing the court as leverage against any overly conservative opinions.
To pack the Court, they’d first need to get rid of the legislative filibuster, which, as Dems learned with the Court, is a very dangerous thing because the pendulum always swings back. Majorities in both houses are very slim. 2 years goes fast, and I expect the Dems are going to have bigger fish to fry than trying to dismantle the whole government. But I suppose time will tell.
