So fed up with this country's lack of true leadership(or an actual requirement for it!)across the board.Its as if only a select few even deserve any leadership,or rights,or anything at all,in this sorry excuse for a"government".It's beyond ridiculous and we need a revolution to set things straight,and allow us to have equality and sanity.
How on God's green Earth has this just been allowed to continue?Why isn't the actual Constitution suddenly not working,at all,and now it really seems it is no longer even applicable at all?What's really going on here,and how the hell do we as citizens change all this?Why are we just being steamrolled by these inept clowns posing as our government?
For every one decent,levelheaded and thoughtful person in any level of our government,there's a dozen more who are determined to rip everything to shreds and are committed to the wholesale destruction of our entire country and everything it ever stood for.And it seems that we apparently have no way to stop this madness.So what,if anything,can be done?We need answers!!
Fixing it is going to require multiple solutions working together, but first we need a public that demands better representation, and is willing to vote out people that aren’t listening to us. We have to vote out these incumbents
There are definitely so many of the incumbents who should have been long gone years,and in some cases,decades ago.This is why we need term limits,so we don't have the entrenched people who have rigged their own elections so only they are reelected over and over.Also imposing term limits on federal and Supreme Court judges is sorely needed,nobody should be in any office or seat more than 10-15 years at the most.And we should be electing those judges and Justices,so they're working for US,not rogue politicians and billionaires.We should have automatically imposable means to put out any of them not doing their duty,or accepting bribes or things of the sort.There needs to be clear means of holding them to account that are iron clad and non negotiable.
Getting the money out of our elections is key too.We need publicly funded campaigns,and an end to Citizens United.That there are millions of dollars in a few certain campaigns alone should be cause for alarm.All that money silences our voices,and renders us all but invisible to the people in office,the people with all that money to throw around like confetti are the only ones represented by our government.
It just seems that regular people are pushed aside more and more.This has to change,for sure.There are definitely many facets that need change and new direction.We as a nation deserve so much better.
Biden should have done it but it appears that the Democrats were too busy “following norms” and writing strongly worded letters rather than taking action. We need better Democrats. Progressive!
Thank you for your response, it made me think to see if zi could find an answer to our question.
Here is what zi found.
It’s interesting
…
President Biden could not unilaterally expand the Supreme Court, as altering the number of justices requires Congress to pass legislation.
While constitutionally possible, it is politically unlikely due to narrow congressional majorities, and Biden historically opposed "court-packing," favoring reform studies instead.
The size of the Supreme Court is determined by law, not the Constitution. Congress must pass a bill and the president must sign it, which is difficult without a large majority.
Political Risk: Expanding the court could trigger a "tit-for-tat" cycle where parties add seats whenever they take power.
Biden’s Position: Biden has previously stated that expanding the court would be a mistake.
Alternative Reforms: Instead of expansion, Biden proposed binding ethics codes and 18-year term limits, which also face steep political hurdles.
Historical Context:Constitutionality: The Constitution does not set a nine-justice Court;
Congress has changed the number of justices throughout history.Past Examples:
The Judiciary Act of 1789 set six justices, while the Judiciary Act of 1801 reduced it to five.
So I’m thinking it might depend on whether or not a current sitting president has the majority of members in both the Senate and the House?
Let’s not give the playbook away until there is a progressive, anti-racist, anti-misogynistic president in office 2028. The last thing we want is agent orange to expand the court.
But let’s not just expand it but set an ethics code with an oversight committee, term limits set by senior status - 3 current senior justices would be forced to retire.
George Washington was correct that America's Core flaw will be factions or parties.
America’s political system is sick with the diseases the Founders feared:
Factionalism, corruption, and the tyranny of the majority over minorities. We’ve strayed from the original, self-evident truth: all humans are created equal. The system now legalizes inequality, subsidizes division, and auctions influence. We don’t need new ideas. We need to return to the first idea and, this time, build it right.
The Vision: The "Blended Republic"
Imagine a republic with only one legal category: the individual American Citizen.
· No race, no creed, no color in law. The state is legally blind to everything but your personhood.
· Full bodily autonomy. No mandates, no forced procedures, no compelled pregnancy. Your physical self is your sovereign domain.
· No special rights. Equality is universal, not group-based. The law protects humans, not tribes.
This isn’t radical. It’s the logical end of the Declaration of Independence.
The Machinery: How It Works. To protect this vision, we must dismantle the engines of corruption and faction.
1. Abolish State-Sanctioned Political Parties. Parties become private clubs, not government gatekeepers. No more (D) or (R) on ballots.
2. State-Funded Elections Only. Use a "Clean Elections" model for all. Eliminate private money. Level the playing field.
3. The Nonpartisan Primary. All candidates run in one primary. All voters vote. The top four advance. This stops extremists who can only win small, partisan primaries.
4. The Sworn Questionnaire. Every candidate must answer the same public, sworn questionnaire. It asks directly: Will you uphold the principle of legal equality? Do you reject laws based on race or creed? Lying is perjury.
5. Self-Executing Disqualification. Intolerance—advocating for legal inequality—is not a political opinion. It’s a failure to meet the basic qualification for office. A candidate who swears the oath and then breaks it is removed, not by political vote, but by a civil finding of fact. The sy

Sorry this post was a little longer than usual, but I thought I would add a little extra commentary at the bottom for a change
Past time we had one judge for each district. Expansion is the only way to start the process.
I urged Biden to do it !!
But…. ?? Not sure why he didn’t try
Biden should have done it but it appears that the Democrats were too busy “following norms” and writing strongly worded letters rather than taking action. We need better Democrats. Progressive!

While constitutionally possible, it is politically unlikely due to narrow congressional majorities, and Biden historically opposed "court-packing," favoring reform studies instead.
Why Expansion Was/Is Unlikely:Congressional Action Needed:
The size of the Supreme Court is determined by law, not the Constitution. Congress must pass a bill and the president must sign it, which is difficult without a large majority.
Political Risk: Expanding the court could trigger a "tit-for-tat" cycle where parties add seats whenever they take power.
Biden’s Position: Biden has previously stated that expanding the court would be a mistake.

So I’m thinking it might depend on whether or not a current sitting president has the majority of members in both the Senate and the House?
Expansion won't prevent future corruption, but impeaching the corrupted justices will. Accountability is what will change things.
It’s about damn time someone said it.
The court needs a complete overhaul.
Do it now and you get more conservative justices.
There’s plenty of evidence to impeach some of those judges
Not if Trump gets to choose them!
Let’s not give the playbook away until there is a progressive, anti-racist, anti-misogynistic president in office 2028. The last thing we want is agent orange to expand the court.
But let’s not just expand it but set an ethics code with an oversight committee, term limits set by senior status - 3 current senior justices would be forced to retire.
Absolute necessity
Agree 👍🏾
Also impeach the corrupt Thomas, Alito, Robert's and Kavanaugh.
