@davidtoddmccarty @todwest @WarnerCrocker With keeping the Senate and getting rid of the blue slips, places like the fifth circuit could be revamped. With the House, court expansion could be possible (in addition to actual legislation). But, as you say, slim chances. Especial with SCOTUS having reduced (but not yet obliterated) the Voting Rights Act.
It's getting pretty hard to see a viable return to sanity.
