Democrats’ Armageddon Option

“Furious Democrats are considering total war — profound changes to two branches of government, and even adding stars to the flag — if Republicans jam through a Supreme Court nominee then lose control of the Senate,” Axios reports.

“On the table: Adding Supreme Court justices… eliminating the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to end filibusters… and statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico.”

“Dems aren’t optimistic about blocking the nominee. But they have many ways of retaliating if they win Senate control — and are licking their chops about real movement on ideas that have been pushed futilely for decades.”
