      Judicial activists are judicial activists, better that they reflect public opinion if you don't want bloody uprisings

      The GOP is no different about the courts than the Democrats. Just more ruthless and theocratic.

      This is the legal nihilism progressives have preached forever. You ought to know better. The Constitution actually says things, which were ratified by the people. Written law has meaning. You're now embracing the rejection of that as a first principle.

      And I don't believe that the current GOP gives a rat's ass about that meaning. They certainly don't care if the one man responsible to "take care that the laws are faithfully executed" cares about that meaning, so you can get right off that high horse, counselor. /1

      As I said to Hewitt during the election, I'm not willing to trade away the rest of the Constitution just to see if I can get the outcome I want on some case. That's not a win: that's tearing up the Constitution to get things I happen to like. No, thank you. Out. All of them. /2x

      Ah, but that is precisely what you're arguing. You want to burn down the law for good to get at one man.

      No, I want to remove the party that is enabling and empowering an anti-constitutional authoritarian. There was a time I would have thought we'd be on the same side of that.

      C’mon Dan. There is 0 evidence that Biden is easily bullied. Secondly, the GOP is about as activist as you could possibly get re: the Courts and the rule of law. Think about this ridiculous ACA lawsuit that almost every legal expert left or right I’ve seen said is poppycock.

      Joe Biden sounds slightly more open to abolishing the Senate filibuster than he has been in the past, describing it as a choice for Republicans. “I think it’s gonna depend on how obstreperous they become.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/13/joe-biden-makes-it-clear-that-country-is-ready-big-change/ … Via @JRubinBlogger 👇 pic.twitter.com/qSsFxHHTI7

      What leverage does he have with McConnell if he isn’t at least signaling that he’s open to it?

      Ask Reagan or Clinton. They didn't need to threaten to burn down the rules in DC to get things done.

          They also didn't ramp up corruption and anti-constitutional behavior in response to being impeached, or try to de-legitimize upcoming elections for their own benefit. How bad does it have to get before you would agree that a thorough rebuke is the only remaining answer?

          The GOP, as currently constituted, deserves zero deference and even less respect. Almost everyone who remains exists to enable a lunatic. There are no rules any longer. Trump has put an end to decency. Take ‘em all down.

          The Republican party of 1996 wasn't quite--quite--as rabid and psychotically insane as the Republican party now is, though they were admittedly getting there.

          What have the Republicans been doing to restore the rules? Oh, right, they got rid of more of them. Republicans, especially McConnell, only care about power.
