Since having my first post-roe encounter be with a despairing neighbor shouting gutwrenching evening expletives at her America, I have slept on it and awoken to fresh ideas in the face of our cataclysmic destiny as a broken nation. Honestly, I have more concern, not to mention business for caring, for the wild sprouting Norwegian Spruce in my front yard than I do for an unwanted fetus inside a fraught and desperate woman, destined almost certainly to a precarious life of burden, hunger, squalor and the ubiquitous violence awaiting a poor, desperate American in the coming future. I’m certain we all have better utility in our hearts and minds than to force fossilized religious zealotry on our neighbors or mere strangers tending by necessity to their own private business.

While Justice Breyer delays his retirement until a restructuring is complete, the filibuster for Supreme Court legislation is eliminated and, using a last in, first out provision, the lifetime appointments of the three justices installed by Mcconnell and Trump are eliminated.

The resulting six member court would actually be more in line with what is expected of a body deciding ultimate legal precedents. Neither liberal nor conservative majorities would dominate, forcing a level of compromise necessary to deliver balanced opinions about the law and
