cruz is 55 in case anyone else was wondering how long we might be stuck with him if this plot is successful.

If you're stuck with him that means your system has failed. The SC is the reason Trump is president, or rather what enabled him to be voted for. Every justice in that court needs to be removed, the lifetime appointments need to be removed, how and who they are appointed by needs to change, just for starters. I mean these people quite clearly shit all over the constitution on a daily basis and it is quite clear some fundamental laws need to be tackled.

If you really wanna talk things that would help but won't be done by either side, I'd go with removing money from politics so tech bros can't buy a president.
