Maybe. The Supreme Court will still be conservative, and will enforce the original interpretation of the Second Amendment. The gun prohibition should be kept to closing the loopholes in attempted guards against felons and insane. The need to raise taxes after the Coronavirus economic legislations should be obvious even to a conservative. If Biden is forced to lead, maybe he can keep a grip on the country.
We’ll see.
Here's where an neo-FDR would step up. McConnell loaded the courts. The correct response is adding seats to the SCOTUS. But if you're going to do it, do it right: add 6!
