Pack the court to the loving roof starting November 4th. Who gives a poo poo what happens later? As the Republicans have proved, the only thing that matters is what you do right now

As the Republicans have proved, the only thing that matters is what you do right now quote:The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

if you're accepting that they're going to somehow disenfranchise mail in voters, would in person voting be any less likely to also be disenfranchised? is that somehow a line that hypothetically can't be crossed once you're already illegally ignoring or invalidating votes?

They are salivating, absolutely champing at the bit, to kill dem voters on election day so for every further election "mail-in is the only safe way" and then they just burn every ballot box.
