(1/2) This court is a problem that won't go away. They'll block everything the next Dem president does.
Got to start talking about "court reform" now. "Republicans in robes", "corruption". Not "packing" or "expanding".
Start framing the discussion now.

A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
