How to Beat Republicans at Their Own Game

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich explores three key ways we can restructure our democracy to level the playing field after Trump and Mitch McConnell's shameless Supreme Court power grab.
The Constitution doesn’t prevent increasing the size of the Supreme Court in order to balance it. Or creating a pool of circuit court justices to cycle in and out of it. In fact, the Constitution says nothing at all about the size of the Court.
From granting statehood to Washington, D.C. to abolishing the Electoral College, nothing should be off the table to strengthen our democracy. There is no reason to accept the structure of our democracy when it repeatedly empowers a ruthless minority to impose its will over the majority. Or when it denies full representation to U.S. citizens, as is the case for Puerto Rico, which absolutely deserves self-determination.
Pay no mind to those who argue that these moves would be unfair abuses of power. Really? Unfair, after what Trump and McConnell have done?
There’s nothing unfair about making our democracy fairer. There’s no abuse of power in remedying blatant abuses of power.
