Final bit from the link in my post: Like Biden’s court reform proposals, what’s significant about Schumer’s bill is not its likelihood for success or the chance that it will ever put Donald Trump behind bars. What’s important is that it signals that the Democrats are finally willing to play constitutional hardball with the Republican court. The Supreme Court’s time of ruling over the country, unbothered and unchecked, feels like it is nearing an end. If the Democrats win the trifecta, they will pass something to reform the court and reduce its power. The Republicans on the court will reject those reforms and declare them unconstitutional. And then we will see if the Democrats have the will to do the one thing the Supreme Court cannot reject: expand the number of justices to give the pro-democracy justices a majority on the court.
