Yeah, that's a sad reality. I don't want to give up the fight though.

The best option is for a new president, senate and house to make new SCOTUS rules which add more justices and gives them term limits.

I think one new justice per year while the longest serving one drops out would be a good start.

Also, force the senate to have a committee within 3 weeks and a vote within 2 months. The senate should not be allowed to stall.

This sounds great. I'd support it

The other problem we have is centrist democrats. They spend most of their time and effort attacking progressives. The rest of the time they appease wealthy people and fold to any Republican pressure.
