IMO, at least four of the Supreme Court justices are thugs in robes. They are MAGAs who are trying to help their "Dear Leader."
If we have a blue wave this year, it's going to have to be a tsunami to get 60 Democratic senators.
Further, many want to see Clarence Thomas impeached for (at a minimum) "Conflict of interest." A Democratic House might impeach him, but it takes a two thirds vote in the senate to convict and remove him.
In short, we're going to need a massive majority in congress to make changes to the Supreme Court. And that doesn't seem likely. Looks like we're screwed until the grim reaper catches up with some of them. And when that happens, let's hope it's at a time the Democrats control the Senate and the presidency so that moderate/sane judges can be appointed and confirmed.
