9. Court expansion is far more important than revenge politics

Monday

Investigating and prosecuting the crimes of this administration is a given- I can’t imagine any serious candidate saying “we have to look forward, not back” on that issue (well, maybe Rahm would), so I don’t think it’s going to be a centrepiece of anyone’s campaign, or shouldn’t be.

People want economic relief and a restoration of lost rights.

None of that is possible without expanding the court, and killing the filibuster to do so.
