This should be mandatory reading for every American. Or at least every high school student.

I have no doubt, however, after they nuked the filibuster they would have moved to expand and further pack the Supreme Court.

That would have been fine.

Democrats have already lost the Court. "Losing more" wouldn't matter. But getting rid of the filibuster AND packing the court would have given Dems the balls to do the same should they ever retake power.

"One maxim I’ve internalized during the Trump era is: “It can always get worse.” Whatever I think the Republican Senate would do is not as bad as what they’d actually do." This is why I am glad they didn't kill the filibuster. Especially in the post-14th Amend world. Thanks, SCOTUS.

Problem is Thune was not about to crush the filibuster. He knows it's a gift that keeps on giving to Republicans. Democrats will have to do the deed once they get in power again.

I said the same thing. It would lead to helping us basically get rid of them.
