What can we do about a Supreme Court packed with corrupt extremists? 1. Nothing. Live with them until better justices can be appointed. Cons: Decades of degraded rights, court may end democracy in meantime Clarence Thomas: Checkmate! 2. Ignore the court, refuse to obey future ridiculous rulings Cons: Chaos, Constitutional crisis Woman in front of bunker and concertina wire in the Free State of California with National Guard tank approaching: At least I have birth control! 3. Wait until apocalypse, then start over Cons: Loss of humanity, biosphere Man to woman in front of apocalyptic landscape: Hey baby, wanna make some new judges who believe in pluralistic democracy? 4. Expand the court with qualified justices Cons: Many Democrats won't even talk about it Democratic politician: We would never dream of doing something so dramatic! Note: Apocalypse much more likely
