Dems want to use state Supreme Courts to thwart democracy

 DC Daily Journal:

...

Donald Trump and the Republicans had a big 2024 election cycle that earned them control of the White House, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives. Combine this with the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority, and Donald Trump and his allies are set to start passing laws and making real change all over the country.

Democrats are looking to undercut the results of the election, though. How do they plan to do that? They are reportedly putting all their eggs in the basket of taking back control of State Supreme Courts all over the country so their far-Left Justices can be installed and get in the way of any legislation being passed from Republican legislators.

The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) is raising alarms over the increasing financial influence that Democratic-aligned groups are expected to bring to state supreme court races in 2025. These elections, set to take place in the crucial battleground states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, hold the potential to shape political dynamics for years to come, especially with redistricting on the horizon.

Through its Judicial Fairness Initiative (JFI), the RSLC has been working tirelessly to support conservative judicial candidates nationwide. As part of its efforts, the committee is emphasizing the importance of the upcoming Pennsylvania and Wisconsin state supreme court elections, both of which will play a pivotal role in the future of redistricting at both state and federal levels. A new video released by the RSLC highlights the stakes in these races, warning that the success of Democratic candidates could shift the balance of power in these courts, opening the door to a prolonged influence over future redistricting efforts that would benefit Left-wing priorities.
...

Democrats should try changing their policies to be more in line with voters' wants rather than trying to rig the courts to thwart democracy.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
