(#6360) Packing the court and adding two more states!

     The opposition to trump and his republican cabal is to beat the hell out of republicans in 2028 and then show our determination by adding 4 more justices to the supreme court and finally bringing in Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico into statehood. There is much more like ending citizens united, national health care, and restoring control over their bodies to women, but at the top of my list is a correction to the heavily partisan supreme court and the lack of voting representation to nearly 4 million American citizens. Both are equally an imperative but if one had to be first I would want the court to be expanded as the highest priority.
     The conservative and maga influence on the court is outright shameful. Their intent to interpret established law through the eyes of donald trump is absurd and a disgrace to the heritage of the court. The court was also expanded back in 1869 to its current number. The pathway to expanding the court to 13 is available and should be the highest priority to the hoped for new democratic administration in 2028. At the same time, because we democrats are well versed in multitasking, the addition of Washington DC and Puerto Rico as the 51st and 52nd state should be prioritized. As current territories of the United States of America, these territories are not represented in Congress. They have representatives, (delegates and Puerto Rican resident commissioner) who attend Congress but are not allowed to vote on final passage of Congressional legislation.
     So in reality nearly 4 million American citizens have no say in the laws that they must abide by. That is absurd and must end as quickly as possible. Other American territorial entities must also be given workable and fair time frames for their statehood as well! The era of trump and his diseased politics is nearing an end so when 2028 comes around and that election is held the hope is that the democratic party will be well placed to seize the levers of government and with that the choices to improve the lives of all our citizens. It starts with reshaping the supreme court with a majority of objective minds instead of a current majority of subjective ones. It also starts with giving two territories the immediate right to representation under taxation that is the founding of our original 13 United States of America!
