Living in Florida and tangentially knowing some of the people who might push back, there's a pervasive feel of "Whatever we do will be rejected by the Governor and eventually the Supreme Court, so, why waste the time and money" at the moment.
@BE @doctorjaymarie @StillIRise1963 the Supreme Court needs to be expanded or all the progress we've achieved so far will be overturned one piece at a time. It has already begun and it won't stop until the right has completely remade the country in their image.

Yes, I was all for that when Biden suggested he'd look at it. Sadly, he didn't go that route, so today's reality is that the Supreme Court is what it is.
@BE @doctorjaymarie @StillIRise1963 it's still an option.
@fritzcokid @doctorjaymarie@mastodon.world @StillIRise1963
In that anything could happen, sure. Biden already empaneled a Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court and they decided there was "profound disagreement" amongst them and the public on the topic.
Nothing happened then. Nothing happened after Dobbs. I don't know what would be the driving force today, especially since it would be up to Congress which is no longer controlled by Democrats.
