    pack the courts, who gives a shit at this point

my brain just wandered off creating a scene from a dystopian film where every election cycle the new president appoints whatever number of judges will give their "side" the majority. visions of a few decades from now when there are so many judges that they meet in an abandoned sports area and it's like the worst day in parliament - people wearing wigs and gowns, booing, throwing wadded up paper at one another while one person holds the ceremonial "staff of speaking" but the din from the crowd overpowers what they are saying... a sea of black gowns and white curls as ineffectual as our current House of Representatives...
