Much of what Trump has “undone” wasn’t undone legally. Many of the things he did requires congress to rollback and other things are caught up in courts. But in the mean time they happened so it will be potentially unable to be put back even if it is ordered so.

So, again, practically meaningless distinction. Until democrats are willing to use the same tools they leave available to republicans, the democrats are ineffective.

Thing is, they don’t have the same opportunities. The one reason why trump has been able to push things through in this shitty manner, is because the Republicans have stacked the Supreme Court (because the holes from people dying got filled while Republicans were in power) and they have majority control of Congress.

So why wasn't Biden stacking SCOTUS?

[–] thejml@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because no judges died during his reign… they’re lifetime appointments.

You're misunderstanding me. I did not say Biden could've appointed more judges. I'm saying Biden could've stacked (or "packed") scotus.
