    1. A new study shows GOP-appointed judges have been far more likely to interpret the law in ways that make it harder for Americans to vote, fueling the ongoing intra-liberal debate over whether to expand the Supreme Court & pack it w/ extra liberal justices. nytimes.com/2020/10/16/us/politics/court-packing-judges.html

    We're used to hearing Trump say the system is "rigged" against him; one of the things this story explores is the argument that it's actually rigged against liberals--making it harder for Dems to win elections even w/ majority support & harder for them to govern if they do win.

      Most American voters cast ballots for Dems to have the power to appoint judges in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, & almost certainly will in 2020. Despite GOP winning the popular vote just once in 3 decades, its appointees have a hammerlock on the judicial branch.
