      There's some silly do-something-ism out there, sure. But people watched Obama do DACA, which the norm-protecters said he couldn't; then they watched Trump divert defense funding to build the wall, which the norm-sayers said was impossible.

      I know y’all know this, but it’s very hard for a president to act like they are Green Lantern when the Supreme Court is as hostile to them as this Court is towards Biden.

      Well, the Democrats are going to have to pick a fight with the courts sooner or later.

          They do. Do you really think that “President Biden issues a unilateral decree limiting gun rights” is the best ground for Biden to pick that fight if he wants to avoid civil violence?

          Pick a fight w/ anyone. SCOTUS. Abbott. McConnell. Most “do something-ism” is just a cry for Dem electeds to show they give a shit enough to not worry about “looking political” and authentically be pissed. Steve Kerr, Beto, Chris Murphy get it. 80 year olds running the party dont

          OK, but what specifically do you want Biden, our aging president who appears physically incapable of being fiery, to do?

          What does “picking a fight with courts” do? Are you saying he should just get caught trying? FDR picked fights with the courts and lost. The court changed after he(and Truman) appointed enough new judges/justices.

          Dems don’t like to pick fights. They beg republicans to compromise and McConnell curb stomps them.

          Jeet, I'm sure people have pointed out to you a million damn times already, 3/4 of the problem of the courts is their refusal to rein in state-level DeSantis-ism. Gay rights, voting rights, abortion rights, all have existed in conservative states because judicial review said so.

          But sure. The tool isn't working right now, so let's smash it into a million pieces so it never works again. I for one am very confident that we can win the Second Civil War.
