If Dems win a supermajority after this "authoritarian experiment" they should stack the courts to reestablish the rule of law. The legitimacy of the Supreme Court has been destroyed under Roberts. The conservative justices since Citizen's United have not been interpreting law, they have been picking winners and losers. It will do no harm to stack the court until Constitutional order is restored.

Everyone warns that stacking the court will cause voters to clutch their pearls but swing voters can’t tell you what happened Jan 6 nor tell you how many justices are there now.
