Judges can accept gifts in any amount at any time. Vacations, private jet usage...

Of course this won't taint their decisions...

We need to start flipping Senate seats NOW, so we can overcome the Manchin/Sinema handicap.

The population has been growing, we are a very litigious society, and those poor Justices just have to work their fingers to the bone. They need some help, and soon!

He is making smart moves. Announcement of a study to form a base for reform. Donny just would have tweeted the plan rather than do any work. Joe is a lawyer and understands facts, logic and reason. He is not ego driven and is a compassionate person. He is one of the rare types; a good man and a good manager.

He’s got a great team and he attracts good people.

I think a commission needs to be launched to find out what the White House's problem is.

Joe needs to 'splain hisself.

this issue up. He told Rachel that Biden is issuing a report this week and Schumer would follow whatever it says about the need to balance the SCOTUS. Schumer seemed to like the idea though.

come out this week, only that the commission was being formed.

I think a report would be in 90 days if I’m remembering what Joe said during the campaign. They need more than a day
