There are ways. Impeachment being the constitutionally sanctioned way.
Just appoint 10 additional supreme court judges. Then pass federal law to limit adding more supreme court judges. Pass federal laws to fix all of the shit that has been happening, including voting reform and gerrymandering with a better voting system A second reconstruction era.
It would be easy to fix, all the democrats need is a solid majority which they would get on election reform or abortion alone.
they should have. They could have. People said this... like when RvW was on the chopping block.
But no. "We can't do that because then they'd do it!"
The problem with federal law is that the next Congress can ignore it. Never forget Congress writes the laws and that means there's functionally no way to bind a future Congress short of the Constitution.
That's not viable. It requires getting a bunch of Republicans to agree to it, and getting even one Republican to listen to reason is a rare thing.
