they could have packed the court with liberals, overturned the immunity ruling and citizens united, expiditedNo Trump's felony indictments for insurrection and document theft, got him convicted and kept him from running by imprisoning him. There were plenty of people who pushed for that, but the old line party establishment said no, too political. Now Carville is saying this is was needs to happen when democrats get back in power.

well why didn't we do it when we had the chance? You can't tell me that there was still a disilusionment about the Trump threat. It was stupid politics.
