Friday

The FIRST bill passed should be the bill that expands SCOTUS to a minimum of 13 seats, and codifies ethical rules for the justices into law, with fines and suspension for violations/
lack of compliance.

Without expanding the court (and killing the filibuster to do so), any legislation other than budget bills can be blocked in the senate, or if somehow miraculously passed, could be overturned by the Roberts court.
