      "Most people" here meaning online progressives. On Court-packing, the public opinion polling is heavily against it - almost as heavily as it was in 1937.

      For the longest time I also thought a candidate calling for the mailing of your opponent would shatter norms and undermine the rule of law. But one of the two parties also thinks that totally fucking ok.

      Yeah, I've been waiting for that whole "norms" thing to kick in on "why won't the DoJ arrest my opponents," but I'm sure we'll all be holding to norms with utmost rigor in about 95 days or so.

      Yes, my friend. As a former career homicide prosecutor I can tell you that Trump’s conduct fulfills all 3 legal elements of manslaughter. Evidence MUST be presented to a grand jury beginning in Jan. Indictments are sure to follow.

      You've convinced me not to vote for Kirschner for president, and if he ever becomes does win and tries to arrest his opponents, I will object. But right now you have a sitting President calling for the machinery of government to be used against his opponents, because norms.

      I realize you'd rather argue about Kirschner, but there's actually a sitting president burning norms and breaking the law on the daily. I assume you'll join us in making sure he is legally and constitutionally voted from office?

      Well, you see, Biden hasn't proven his fitness by holding enough super-spreader events. So what choice does he really have?

      Hey, I wrestled with this. Joe Biden's radical agenda, hatched slowly over a half-century of fake "centrism" and stuff, almost made me give up my opposition to Trump. It was a close call, believe you me, pally.

      You can have "Biden will pack the Court" or "Biden is against radicalism" but you cannot have both.

          I think Joe Biden has no interest in radical revisions of our constitutional system, but the GOP has created a market for such solutions among a large number of Americans by its own behavior, and he's not going to get into that street fight now, because he's not an idiot.

          I’m pretty sure Biden thinks packing the Court is a terrible idea. I do not fully understand the political dynamics of why he won’t say that. I think maybe he overestimates AOC’s actual power.

          I think he's running a tight and well-disciplined campaign that isn't fighting about the issues you'd wish he'd fight about, which is why there's a 9 out of 10 chance he'll win next week. (Not a sure thing, but a damn good chance.)

          Expanding the court under the current circumstances isn’t radical, though.

          How about "Biden should use the GOP's behavior in the 1860s as his guide?" How does that work?

          If we use the word "rebalance," though, that makes it not radical. So obvious.
