Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

It would all be up to how the Executive and Legislative branches react to the court's actions. The House is Republican controlled and will likely side with the Supreme Court, thus rendering Congress from acting. Meanwhile, Biden isn't even willing to change the courts, let alone challenge their legitimacy. He will likely go with whatever the Supreme Court decides in order to appear like he's being impartial or bipartisan, when the reality is he will always be accused of sabotaging the Republicans by the Republicans.
That would only leave the people to react to the Supreme Court's decision, which if its anything like Dobbs or any other protest over the last 20 years, The Supreme Court has nothing to worry about.
I believe the smart move is to let it all play out and not cause a Consitutional Crisis. There is no reason to destroy our government for someone like Trump. If I was running against him I'd be trashing him ruthlessly. Don't give him any respect.
Sounds like you should rename to YoBuckStopsUnlessItInconveniencesMe
How would Biden “change the courts?” (I presume you mean Supreme Court)
He has already nominated a liberal justice, which was about the only thing he had the power to do. With a minority in the house and the ever slimmest majority in the senate, expanding the court or taking down one of them for corruption is not going to happen.
If you want to change the courts, it has to be done by voting blue in state and local elections.
