Tuesday

Any Dem senate primary candidate who doesn’t support court expansion, and killing the filibuster to pass it, will not get my financial support.

While making court expansion a central focus may be risky strategically, it nevertheless must be a component of all future campaigns. Make it a bullet point in a long list of progressive policy positions, then focus on the issues that voters care about most.
