They have multiple brakes. The electoral college is too big of one.
Also applied to selective breeding of blacks for superior strength. Jimmy the Greek stuff. Racist as ****

@colton, @The Thriller, if you have not read this yet, it’s very informative. Basically the only one of Mueller’s prosecutors who is spilling the beans on how the Special Council’s investigation went.
“A former prosecutor on special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team writes in a new book that the group failed to fully investigate President Trump’s financial ties and should have stated explicitly that they believed he obstructed justice, claiming that their efforts were limited by the ever-present threat of Trump disbanding their office and by their own reluctance to be aggressive.

I think we'd have much better Supreme Court decisions if we had nine moderates seated vs. majorities either way. I don't think it lends itself to sound decision-making.
The Republican precedent to ram this through may come at an electoral price. I think it's quite within reason that if D's take the Senate/Presidency and hold the House, you'll see the dissolution of the filibuster and a push to expand the court four more seats to take back a majority - and they'll be in the electoral position to do it.
This is not a good course for the country - we don't need continual court packing and expansion when one party has all three spots, but a vicious cycle of this expansion could become a reality.

Imagine a 51 justice supreme court...

The raw power of the presidency has prevented so much from seeing the light of day. This is true of every presidency, of course, but gawddamn there’s been so much more darkness (and so much more of it flowing straight into our homes) during this 4-year term. —At least during my lifetime.

it would be awesome. Having such a large, diluted, and impotent judicial branch might actually force the legislative to actually legislate. instead repubs are relying on the judicial branch to repeal the stuff they hate.

It took three months, with no breaks, of Congressional investigation to vote on Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. I invite you to join me in saying this time the Senate should also take three months, not including breaks, to investigate and vote on the next nominee.

Usually yeah, but hypocrite Democrats have played treasonously dirty for the past 3 years so I don't want to hear a word about being unfair.
