    I have doubts a constitutional amendment will pass, but hopefully there are other avenues to enact this plan.

      Oh really? I’d now like to see you throughout historical events right before they happened, expressing your doubts as if you uniquely had them… “I don’t know, guys…”

      Yes, that’s the point. Nobody has 100% faith that this is a rubber stamp, that’s not the point.

      First, the announcement itself from a sitting American president is historic and important, second, it keeps a hard focus on the corrupt conservative frauds and illegitimacy of this current court. Those are the victories, the actual congressional amendment (a process designed to be difficult in a process that demands consensus) is and always was the long shot that could happen.
