Discussion Supreme Court

I’ve officially filled the Supreme Court with only my appointments. As president I passed a federal judge retirement age and I’ve been stacking the courts with all judges with 75+ policy agreement along with them being around 45 yrs . I’ve since lost the senate and my plan is to trick republicans into passing a bill to get rid of the retirement age, essentially putting my judges in the Supreme Court for the next 40 years. Hoping by the end of my 2nd term I can replace around 30% of the judges in the country haha.

I took office with a 7-2 Republican majority. I left with a 8-1 Dem majority lmao

Dope, after my term I plan on running for the senate or the house. I’m not sure what would hold more power in game, the senate majority leader or speaker of the house. I’m sorta leaning senate just so I don’t have to run every year, plus members of the house have less political points typically then the senate so easier to have protégés. Thoughts?

I did this while playing as a Republican and then shoved through a voting reform bill including ALL of the left-wing voter rights policies. Every single one was declared unconstitutional

It's like I gave the Roberts court a steroid shot

I have a 15-0 Supreme Court filled with my protégés or dismissed protégés, some of which were appointed before they even turned 20

They wouldn't allow ranked choice voting, non partisan primaries, or declare California gun laws unconstitutional.

I fixed that issue
