The McConnell Project has the left hemmed in. The filibuster makes partisan legislation that is not directly tied to taxing and spending practically impossible. The Supreme Court has made it clear that major policy changes through regulation will not be permitted, either. In the meantime, the red states are running wild imposing their idea of “freedom” (i.e., just another word for nothing left to lose) on disfavored groups. It feels like the Democrats are in office, but not in power. What can they do?
They don’t have enough votes to do much about red state legislatures, and they won’t have enough senators to kill the filibuster, but they can certainly complain about the Supreme Court. I’m not sure Biden will fully embrace this, but you can expect to hear a lot of discussion about reforming the Court as the judicial counterrevolution rumbles on, and I expect it to be a big issue in the 2028 primaries.
