Biden Is Wrong. The Supreme Court Is Already “Politicized.” (jacobin.com)

President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.

Yeah this is basically the way the Democrats of operated my entire life and possibly longer.

They claim there needs to be a strong Republican party and that they want bipartisanship. They already are starting off as being More right wing than every single European conservative party or any conservative party in the OECD basically on issues like health care and social policy.

Same with the debt ceiling thing. There was a million ways around that besides caving to the Republicans on cutting food stamps.
