Incidentally, while there's no credible evidence I'm aware of of the Democrats doing anything to attempt to steal the election, if you want to see some left-wing musing about blowing up a system that isn't giving them the outcomes they want, check this #### out.

I don’t have a problem necessarily with abolishing constitutional review, but court-packing is a strange and very complicated way to do it. If you want to get rid of constitutional review, that can be done unilaterally by the president. All the president has to do is assert that Supreme Court rulings about constitutionality are merely advisory and non-binding, that Marbury (1803) was wrongly decided, and that the constitutional document says absolutely nothing about the Supreme Court having this power. You don’t need a constitutional amendment. You don’t need to pass a law. And you don’t need to appoint any judges. This is a completely reasonable position that also reflects the kind of power top courts have in other countries.
This article has been making the rounds as a discussion topic on a few talk shows and in left-wing publications for the past couple of days. To be clear, the author is suggesting that the President just announce unilaterally, "I have decided that I don't think the Supreme Court has the power to overturn laws on the basis that they're unconstitutional. I will henceforth simply be ignoring any of their pronouncements." And this is, apparently, viewed by some as a reasonable way for Democrats to proceed if they get the White House back.

BONKERS.
