You appear to be stuck with a constitution which has been gamed. I doubt it's the first time.

I don't understand how the Senate can be gamed or of any problem with the SC.

What happened to Kamala Harris' campaign?
She had the black vote all locked up.

Actually, I do not play poker and rarely played any game of chance. Mostly because I am not all that interested in paying the cost to learn how to play well and still lose money.LarsMac wrote: Tue Oct 27, 2020 8:27 pmIt's all about the 2-party system.

Congress is like two guys playing high stakes Poker. The problem is they are always playing with other peoples' money. They seldom actually have "Skin in the Game"

US Democrat Jim Clyburn says expand Supreme Court
One of the most senior Democrats in Congress, House majority whip Jim Clyburn has said he is in favour of increasing the size of the Supreme Court from its current level of nine judges, but further research was needed on the appropriate number.
Mr Clyburn told Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur that Supreme Court had not always had nine members.
"Why did we go to nine? So the question is do we need to go to 11, 12, 13? I think a baker's dozen might be a good number," he said.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has refused to make clear whether he supports expanding the number of justices, and recently said he would appoint a bipartisan commission to study whether a review of the judiciary was needed if he wins the White House.

Why nine for the last 120 years now needs examination.?
