We’re way beyond “could” face a reckoning and solidly in the “should” and “must” categories. This group of supposed originalists have defiled the constitution, starting with overturning Roe and granting presidential immunity. SCOTUS reform is necessary if we want to keep our democracy.

This could be effective even if only enacted by large blue states (CA, NY, IL), as corporations in red states could not do any business in them.

Corporations with more global markets, or for whom the federal government is the primary customer, might need different solutions.

It's a good start.

Maybe it's "💯" political or maybe it's mental illness. It could easily be both. Unless something has just been reported that I missed, it remains to be seen.
