Some thoughts, one unpleasant to some.

Now that we have apparent control of the Federal Government again, we should play like republicans, use any tool available to us to get our way, and be bloodthirsty MFs in doing so.

Justice Stephen Breyer should retire as soon as Schumer become Senate Majority Leader and we should induce him to do so if he is hesitant. We need a much younger, healthy progressive Justice in his seat. Ageism, yes, fuck it, this situation is war. We need to start reshaping the Courts NOW and we have ostensibly two years to do it, but, we never know what Democratic Senator may vacate office, so we need to shape the Courts with younger, healthy progressives ASAP. Sorry Merrick Garland, you were screwed by McConnell, but you are too old and need to be passed over for a much younger person. We should see whether we can nudge Roberts into retiring, I believe he sees the risk and may be open to being replaced under Biden. We should hope every day that Thomas and/or Alito have to quit for whatever reason, use your own imagination.

There are at least 45 vacancies in lower Federal Courts. We need to fill them forthwith and not only that, pressure old lower Court Justices that are over 70 to retire, even some that are sane conservatives and don’t want to see a Trump clone replace them down the line.

On social policy, we need to push to the very limit that a Joe Manchin will allow and massage him to the left, he is a morally decent man, I believe he realizes the urgency of the coming months. Get every fucking liberal dream policy in place that we can, screw what republicans think. Do the policy so that it will withstand Constitutional challenges.

We can’t sit back and say we have 2022. We have a lot of old Senators, we need to make haste as soon as the Georgia Senators are seated. We can plan for 2022, but the future is NOW!!!!!
