Rep. George Santos has easily survived a vote to expel him from the House as most Republicans opted to withhold punishment as both his criminal trial and a House Ethics Committee investigation proceed.
The House republicans couldn’t even do one good thing lol
This is why I keep telling people we can’t pass an Amendment to do things like change gun control.
It starts with a 2/3rds majority in the House, 290 votes.
We couldn’t get 290 votes to agree on Santos’ obvious crimimal behavior, we’ll NEVER get it on something like the 2nd Amendment, or Supreme Court term limits, or anything else remotely useful.
Gun control doesn’t require repealing the 2nd amendment. Term limits for the Supreme Court might, but we can get most of the good of that by packing the Supreme Court to water down the influence of a single corrupt judge and to maybe even reevaluating allowing the Supreme Court to hold the authority of judicial review
Packing the Supreme Court won’t work because the next President of the opposite party will just pack it the other direction. Joe knows this and it’s why he hasn’t attempted it.
Gun control very much requires an amendment based on the rulings from the Supreme Court since D.C. vs. Heller.
Packing the SCOTUS one time would be enough if they then immediately fix gerrymandering. That would prevent conservatives from winning a trifecta again that would allow them to re-pack the court.
If we do nothing, we admit defeat to the facists. Pack the fucking court to ruin the conservatives.

The Supreme Court is confirmed by the Senate, gerrymandering doesn’t impact the Senate as they are statewide races. That’s House only. ;)
