After the Democrats wipe out the Cult on Nov. 5th, here's my wish list of legislative and executive actions:
1. Expand the SCOTUS to 21, fast track the list of nominees to be seated in 90 days.
2. Codify choice as unassailable law.
3. Settle once and for all time voting rights.
4. Settle once and for all time immigration law that streamlines entry into the U.S.
5. Place fucking taxes on the fucking rich that makes sense, no more fucking talk about who will be the first trillionaire because there won't be one. Eliminate the SS threshold.
6. Give the EPA a set of tiger teeth.
That's the short list. Keep it going.

-Restrict the service of a Supreme Court Justice to 25 years or age 70, whichever comes first. So one appointed at 45 will retire at 70 and serve the full 25 years, while one appointed at 55 will serve 15 years.
-Eliminate many of the tax loopholes the wealthily and corporations who currently have ridiculous tax rules which allows them to pay no taxes but benefit off the hard work of ordinary TAX PAYING citizens.
That sounds kind of young to be put out to pasture.
