In an interview with "The View," former President Joe Biden said he took some responsibility for President Trump's 2024 win because he was "in charge."
“I’m happy to trace this issue back to the founding fathers, but Bush v Gore was the beginning of the end in my opinion.”
I share similar sentiments except with Citizens United V FEC instead of Bush V Gore. I can’t imagine any meaningful change without removing private money from politics and I don’t see how anyone can realistically remove private money when it’s ruled to be protected by the first amendment…The only avenues I can think of involve packing the court or passing a constitutional amendment. Packing the court would require only slightly less cooperation from congress than an Amendment.
I hate to stress a point, but Bush v Gore was 2000, and Bush elected two Supreme Court judges that would then go on to decide citizens United under a Bush appointed chief justice.
I don’t know if things definitely would’ve gone differently, but I imagine there would at least be different judges in place.
