They could, for instance, pass a law to prevent them from hearing cases on abortion or the ACA; the Constitution specifically gives them that power. A conservative court can be managed, the important thing is to show up for the midterms. If Dems had shown up in 2014 they could have kept the Senate and saved us all kinds of trouble.
Huh? Trump's power won't end on November 4th. Even if Biden wins, and we flip the Senate and expand keep the House, the power wont be passed to Dems until Jan 20th. That is still enough time for Trump and the Slanted SCOUTS to do some damage. There will be emergency cases filed by the GOP in that time.
We wont be able to determine the Jurisdiction of the SCOTUS until we take power, if we do.
I think this has more to voting issues right now. I don't think they will touch the ACA or abortion until next year.
