The current version of the Supreme Court, as incorporated into the McConnell Project, prohibits the left from wielding power even when it wins elections. As a result, reform of the Court is likely to be front and center during the Democratic primaries in 2028.
But what if the Court, instead of being passive-aggressive, consistently blocks Trump’s most egregious attempts to break the Constitution and liberal democracy? It’s a real possibility, although hardly a given. If it happens, it will be much more difficult for the left to attack the Court in 2028. Reform will effectively be off the table, and the left will be hobbled for the foreseeable future..
