The Specter of a Liberal Coup

[DaleCooper]

I think we're too worked up over the "coup" language. But I do see a fair point when it comes to which side is willing to overwhelming change our institutions in order to make them fit their agenda. I've said it a couple times now, but the 9-seat Supreme Court with lifetime appointments is going to be gone in most of our lifetimes. The only way Democrats don't dramatically change SCOTUS next time they have power is if two conservative justices happen to die while Democrats are in power before they enact SCOTUS reform. DC statehood is on its way too, which I support on principle but obviously for the purposes of the Democratic Party it's just to get 2 more Senators, but that and all their other major reforms will come later once the conservative Supreme Court is out of the way.
