18. Time has given us a lot of scars to say its not worked out well so far.

Gorsuch
Cavenaugh
Barrett
Roe
Federal Judges like Cannon...

I'm not sure what future mysterious GOP/MAGA move that couldn't be stopped is worth remaining in a broken system with a rigged SCOTUS and an adversarial party that has absolutely no restraint in the first place. If the argument is we must suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune for fear of potentially (unknown, unnamed) future woes, I choose to take up arms against the oppressor and die on this hill, today if necessary.

Hunker down and wait has already cost women their rights and a few their very lives...THAT cost is already too high.

Kill the filibuster day one.
Rebalance the SCOTUS day two.
Draft amendments to eliminate the Electoral College day three.
End the Trump tax policies day four.
Sign immigration legislation and pathway to citizenship day five.
And then rest (god may work 6 days, but we are going to protect the 5-day work week and go from 40 to 36 hours to boot!!!)
