(56,299 posts)It's a tall order. You need Congress and courts, and to do something about SCOTUS, like removing 5 justices. You need to fire and replace what remains of the executive branch. You need to pay for it all. You need to neutralize the press. And you need to run the country for lower costs at a time when we're bankrupt and unable to pay bills or borrow.
You have a plan?

No need to embark on a futile attempt to remove five justices, when, with the right amount of courage, it is far easier to add 4-6 justices.

(215 posts)Reform the court (as you say, requires the Democrats to eliminate the filibuster--but it is already eliminated for confirming judges, so why not this?) completely, impose ethical standards, add justices. The current court will stop EVERYTHING a Democratic administration tries to accomplish with the current make up.

If Dems have the courage to expand the court in 2029, all (OK, many) things become possible.

The settlement of the estate means all the creditors are first to get paid, and the heirs split whatever is left. If nothing is leftover after the creditors are paid, well so be it.
