"Not even arch criminal richard nixon had his pals in congress alter the rules for his law breaking, has america really fallen this far to allow this now?"

This guy and his advisors are playing to nice. It's time to destroy trump and the racist rapists that back him and his entourage so totally.

Not Biden as such, but how did america end up abandoning its fallen heroes from D-day worse than sunak and his advisors in the space of a month?

The fight for freedom and democracy indeed.
 
Surely anyone who doesnt want Biden, may not like him at all, or may be thinking of abstaining in November due to his stance on Israel should be putting this above everything at the moment.

This is more than a little misleading.

Four seats are potentially in play, barring unusual mischance: Thomas (76), Alito (74), Sotomayor (70), Roberts (69). Among recent justices, Scalia died on the bench at 80, RBG died on it at 87, Kennedy retired at 82, Breyer retired at 84, Souter retired young and is still kicking at 85, O'Connor retired in her 70s and died at 93, Rehnquist died on the bench at 81 and John Paul Stevens retired at 90.

Is it a reason to vote Democrat? Sure. Has a party controlled the presidency for more than three consecutive terms since FDR? No. Odds are Alito and Roberts will step down and be replaced by Republicans. Ditto Sotomayor and a Democratic replacement. Thomas is the only one it's realistic to expect to run the clock out on.

If the Democrats can learn to put aside their differences for a couple decades in presidential elections, they can shift the Court. Nothing less than that will do, and a narrative of false optimism about what is required is unhelpful.
 
For all the talk of replacing Biden he's probably still the Dem candidate most likely to beat Trump. The exception possibly being Whitmer. It's still an ugly, ugly process sidelining Harris, unless Harris can be persuaded to step aside. This is very unlikely.
