We can only ignore the SC until we:
1. Convince state legislatures to adopt the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (which the Supreme Court will likely rule as unconstitutional)
2. Conduct an election where the popular vote winner differs from the electoral college winner (constitutional crisis ensues, along the lines of current Venezuelan situation)
3. Overcome the constitutional crisis and ensure that the popular vote winner becomes POTUS
That is the path forward if you want to pack the SC. Until then, the Senate will block any non-RNC president from appointing justices unless absolutely necessary.
- jadell 7y agoI'm curious why you think SCOTUS would find the Compact unconstitutional? If anything, with the current makeup of the court, I believe they'd be more likely to rule that the individual states are free to choose their electors as they see fit.
