      18 years is enough for an unelected official - Supreme Court justice - wielding such power. Each president gets two picks which will decrease the political pressure in confirmation. Can be done by statute. Ask each candidate their position - including Trump. Reform is necessary https://twitter.com/brianefallon/status/1230180232424042496 …

      Larry Lessig is arguing this case on behalf of "faithless electors." His stated goal is to blow up the Electoral College altogether, persuading the American people to adopt a constitutional amendment that would move to a popular vote for president.

      Honestly, apart from that whole “consent of the governed” business, Dems should add seats to the courts to complete the morality play. BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION Republicans abetted carnage out of greed for lifelong power, and the only fitting end is to show them it was all illusory.

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Sahil Kapur

      One of the very few reasons to feel reassured at Joe Biden as our likely next POTUS is his long fidelity to the American system. But his resistance to what his party wants is very weak. He's already hinting at caving to the Burn It All Down Caucus:https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1282810715800326149 …

      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

          That is a misunderstanding on what the Senate is about. It's pretty noticeable that in the US civics education is poor.

          I thought that my "repeal the 17th amendment" thing was extreme. This guy wants to abolish the senate? I'd rather see it restored to its original place as a true deliberative body representative of the states, and apart from direct election.
