re: #202 Hecuba’s daughter

The Republicans control the House. It is a total waste of time to even discuss this proposal. And I guarantee you that if the GOP takes control of the Senate in 2024 — which is a bad Senate year for Democrats — no Democratic nominee to SCOTUS will be approved. This is a proposal worth pursuing ONLY if the Democrats have 60 seats in the Senate and control of the House.

Every election is a bad Senate year for Democrats. That’s just a symptom of the underlying problem of the Senate itself. That model is unsustainable if present trends of population change continue. Of course we are nowhere near the farcical extreme of 26 states each with population 3 having an unassailable 52-seat Senate majority, but that is the direction the US is trending in.
