7. Some accused me of magical thinking for advocating getting rid of the electoral college and making Senate election proportional to population. But I noted that it can't happen. Expanding the House/Court and abolishing the filibuster are more realistic goals. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

6. So that's why I suggest we need changes like expanding the House and SCOTUS--something that hasn't happened in over a century. Also abolish the filibuster which gives the minority a veto on all legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

5. I know all the MAGA types keep saying we are a "republic" not a "democracy." But in truth we are--or should be--both. Almost all Americans want us to be a democracy. But we are far from realizing that ideal when a militant 1/3 minority can impose its views on the 2/3 majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

4. But the recent SCOTUS decisions are only a symptom of a larger problem, which is that we suffer, as I pointed out in an earlier column (https://t.co/OLzvXIg9Dr), from "minoritarian tyranny." That's why we can't pass significant gun safety legislation despite massive support. — PolitiTweet.org

3. If the SCOTUS Six were more, well, conservative, they would realize they are destroying popular respect for the court and acting with a license they should not have. As I point out, the GOP appointed 6 of 9 justices despite having won the popular vote only once in 30 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

2. It's certainly true that I believe the court is acting very unwisely by making such radical decisions on abortion, guns, environmental regulation, etc., that fly in the face of public opinion and rely on a tendentious reading of the Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org
