Expanding The Supreme Court

[Anomalocaris]

You think the mere abundance of natural resource is sufficient to prevent excess economic and political abuse, and discourage the people From seeking redress for the abuse by revolt and division of the state?

Yes, there was plenty of room for growth early on and when there is plenty there is little need to battle for resources. Although this was disastrous for the indigenous people.

A system where large percentage of those that draw the short straw thinks the straw is given largely fairly. And a viable method of redress, and a system that does not permanently marginalize them due to the short straw, is necessary.

This country has developed a system to bamboozle those that draw the short straw, so nothing to see here.

As to arms race, bring on the arm race.  When one side cheat ostentatiously and succeeds in gaining the advantage, and don’t give it up voluntarily, only all out arms race can mitigate their ill gotten advantage, while demonstrating that the eventual penalty of cheating Is so high as to ensure others are dissuaded from making cheating the permanent preferred method of business.

You see, I am disgusted by what I have seen in the country from both sides. I lean very progressively so I side with Dems mostly, but there needs to be collaboration between the sides. We need to quit hallucinating slippery slopes and find balance. Right now both sides are whipping up their base to convince them that the other side will ruin the nation and THAT just isn't true. We are all the heros of our story we just need to find a way to steer the ship towards what is best for the most people. This is not going to happen because the huge corporations, and the wealthy people that run them OWN this country.

More judges means less will get done which means all kinds of shit will just slip through the cracks.

And having the Republicans pack the court with unqualified partisan loons is a good alternative ?

I didn't say that or even imply that.

And I am disgusted by people who don’t know when to stop giving in the name of collaboration  with people who spit in their faces at every opportunity, and tramples on the very name of collaboration, and exhibits zero evidence of meaning to ever make the smallest voluntary concession.  

collaboration is a good thing when you have collaborators.   collaboration with your own abusers in your own abused is not pitiable, it is contemptible.
