re: #159 steve_davis

this is where biden & Co. will have to play a bit of a long game. They’ll first give Republicans a chance in the new congress to not filibuster every bill that comes up. when that fails, they’ll drop the filibuster. They’ll give the supreme court the chance to affirm roe v. wade and aca. when that fails, we’ll have a fireside moment with Biden, who will tell us that Democracy will not be shortchanged by a partisan court, and he’ll “reluctantly” agree that adding 4 more justices in short order is the only option.

If they don’t drop the filibuster at the beginning of the 2021 session, they can’t drop it until 2023.
