It's official...

If Trump wins, Clarence Thomas should retire. He's already talking about retiring. I'd hate to see him screw up like RBG did.

If Trump wins he'll need a Repub. Senate

He already has one. Senators aren't up for re-election this year.

Never mind. I was thinking the house was a 2 year split vote.

Agree. Im not for it, but its a legitimate question in the toxicity of the court the last 10 yrs

Of course KF, it’s a very legitimate question. I was just giving my view if either side was to attempt it. It has been done and tried before. But if the legislature filibuster was eliminated, to change this law, imagine what other laws (such as gun control), could be passed with just 51 votes in favor. I’m not sure if either side would really want that if they thought it through (getting any laws passed with 51+), but crazier things have happened. Good post though. Gets you thinking.

It's only the dems that are threatening to do it though.
They dont want a conservative court to interpret the constitution, they want a liberal court to rewrite the constitution
