      Dems will need to run the table on Senate races, in addition to keeping the White House, for that to happen. If not, Alito and Thomas get to pick their hard right replacements and all but the youngest of us will wither and die with a conservative SCOTUS supermajority.

        Yes, to increase the number of justices we’ll need a congressional and executive branch to push the appointments through.

        It won’t matter who Alito or Thomas pick as their replacements if there’s 5 new left leaning justices on the bench.

        It’s sad to see the Supreme Court as such an overt political structure now. It’s always been political but this is egregious.
