Republicans will control the supreme court for the next 20 years. We will see couple of resignations soon so they can appoint younger, crazier judges. Hopefully progressive democrats will be able to stop the slide towards dictatorship but I don’t except any swinging back.
Democrats won’t get control of the Senate until 2029 January 3rd since the only seat the democrats can win in 2026 election is Maine and its currently 53-47, everything else is locked in place by the staggered election system of the Senate.
Winning the House can’t stop the Judicial appointments that only the Senate has the power to reject
Allow me to introduce you to my friend court packing.
But also in terms of things like Roe, all we need to fix that is a law passed through congress. The court would have no constitutional basis challenging it at that point. If they did it loops back around to justifying court packing.

I like your optimism.
I wouldn’t say optimism. There’s historical precedent for this. Whether or not it will happen I have no idea.
