      I mean, the dude doesn’t have the power to do anything yet. So it is pretty timely given that we have a full four months to campaign on it and maybe get the power to implement the things.

        You do realize Joe Biden has been President for the last four years, right?

        You realize the changes he wants to make were recommended to him by an advisory panel in 2021, right?

        You realize Biden has sat on his thumbs for the last four years watching America’s economy and political climate fall into the gutter, watching the world fall into war, watching the global environmental and economic collapse and the worst refugee crisis in world history grind on and doing absolutely fucking nothing, right?

        But now that the Supreme Court that Biden enabled has formally instituted the imperial presidency that everybody knew they would institute, now that the end of democracy in America is literally in sight, Biden and the Democratic Party are finally going to start fighting for the court reforms we’ve been begging for his entire presidency?

        Forgive me for not expecting much.

      You’d prefer ‘never’? Would ‘never’ be okay for you? We passed ‘timely’ a week ago, so your choices are ‘late’ or ‘never’.

        Listen carefully: at this stage of his term it is a useless gesture, by the time any of it could take effect it will be during the next Administration, and Trump will add it to the bonfire, gut it and it will be another “oh, well…we triiiied” moment for the Dems.

        Yes, reform has been long overdue, but this, like Choice being enshrined as a right, should have been more of a priority at the beginning of his term.
