You don't have to sell me on them but damn, ending the filibuster and packing the Supreme Court? Sounds cool as hell.
Mitch McConnell shares GOP’s 'worst nightmare' scenario of a Harris-Walz White House - Alternet.org
Mitch McConnell is scared a Kamala Harris presidency would spell disaster for the Republican party, prognosticating that a Democratic presidency would result in the demise of the filibuster and a liberal packing of the Supreme Court.
“Let's assume our worst nightmare – the Democrats went to the White House, the House, the Senate,” McConnell said during a speech to lawmakers in Louisville, Kentucky, Spectrum reports. “The first thing they'll do is get rid of the [Senate] filibuster. Second, you'll have two new states: D.C., Puerto Rico. That's four new Democratic senators in perpetuity."
“If they get those two new states and pack the Supreme Court, they'll get what they want," McConnell continued. "By the way, on packing the Supreme Court ... you may know this already. It's unconstitutional."

in reply to nathans :ms_weed: :donor: • • •don’t forget that ending the filibuster is a double-edged sword, as it would allow Republicans to do the same things.
After all, Democrats’ end of the judicial filibuster opened the door to Republicans appointing the judges that got us to where we are today.
