What if the only way to protect democracy is to restore checks and balances by expanding the Supreme Court? On this episode of the Keystone Recording podcast, we confront the political chaos shaking our nation to its core. We dissect everything from Supreme Court rulings on presidential immunity to President Biden’s controversial performance, spotlighting the collective anxiety and lack of clear strategies among Democrats aiming to oust Donald Trump. Drawing bold historical parallels to FDR’s New Deal era, we contemplate the idea of court packing as a potentially necessary measure to counteract the Trump and MAGA movement victories.
If you’ve been doomscrolling and pondering why everything feels like it’s teetering on the edge, you’re not alone. There’s one simple solution: President Biden needs to pack the Supreme Court NOW.
Expect a no-holds-barred look at why Democrats are experts at paralysis by analysis, while Republicans are busy winning with every loophole they can exploit. We’ll revisit FDR’s court-packing attempt and why it’s more relevant now than ever. Plus, hear a clip from FDR himself to remind us that even the greats knew when to shake things up.
We need to stop protecting an "institution" that no longer exists. It’s time to stop worrying about the editorial pages and Twitter trolls, and start fighting like our democracy depends on it—because it does.
We scrutinize the fierce political climate surrounding Trump and his loyal supporters, whose allegiance is rooted in cultural conflicts and a blatant disregard for facts. We delve into the Democratic response, considering the audacious strategy of expanding the Supreme Court to reignite voter enthusiasm and redefine the election narrative. Could recent Supreme Court decisions provide President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Schumer the leverage to appoint new justices? We explore the ethical controversies and constitutional crises this might provoke.
Join us for this cathartic episode where we demand bold action, mock the endless hand-wringing, and get real about what it’s going to take to beat Trump and save democracy. Pack the Supreme Court, President Biden. The time is NOW. Tune in for a blend of wit, sarcasm, and a call to action that’s as urgent as it is necessary. Let’s get to work, Democrats!
