re: #3 Eclectic Cyborg

Can Biden expand the court without going through the Senate?

If not, we’re fucked.

This. The problem is that Biden can only do so much by fiat, especially since he’s going to be forced to play by rules Trump never had to. And we can barely pass much less controversial things with the Senate margins we have, much less eliminate the filibuster, much less expand the courts which would likely require the elimination of the filibuster in the first place.

We are institutionally roadblocked from almost all avenues of escape or address.
