MODERATORS
Stop talking about it and do it. Each day the issue goes unaddressed, the public's confidence in the court decays. We're at the point where in a normal political arena, there would already be an impeachment investigation in play. Roberts is betting on either Trump winning or having a divided legislature in 2024 so that everything can be swept under the rug.
Dems are currently in the minority in an extremely partisan House, unfortunately, so AOC can't do much other than applying public pressure.
ETA: vote.
The House can't do much in any case. The real power here is with the Judiciary Committee in the Senate. Everything flows through them as far as the court goes. Remember, there is a very small majority in the Senate and it is reflected in Committee membership.
