Eventually we will all be members of the nations highest court.

Direct democracy.

Worst than a dictatorship, it is.

You should read Aurora Rising.

Biden is not going to do that. He has no interest in making it a part of his legacy.

You can predict his moves if you understand the biography he wants about himself.

I dunno. That FDR shrine smiling down on him in the Oval Office could make a senile person do funny things...

It would be odd for someone lacking so much charisma to do something at this age to change the entire narrative.

Biden really does want to change society akin to FDR. If it takes court packing, I think he might go against some natural tendencies.

You really think he could do that with the remaining less than 1.5 years until the next election and the House likely falls? Also anything that passes will need to be 50 votes in the Senate (that limits the agenda) and still with 50 they need Manchin which also limits how progressive things get.

At best I think he will win enough of his budget proposal(s) to claim rejuvenation of the middle class.

I agree with @Loki I dont think it will happen.

The Democrats will use the issue to try and get their voters out to vote.

The Republics will use the issue to try and get their voters out to vote.

Doesn't matter. It won't happen, I am pretty sure.

By the way, Jolly, this forum thread is about President Biden, not about President Trump. 555 (just teasing you)
