Stack the Senate instead of the Court

We could not complain about it when Obama was in office because he won the popular vote.



I don't think you understand what the founding fathers were talking about.  Please provide a link to any of them saying that a minority should rule over and control a majority.  Or at least provide a link to the context of when they addressed the problem of  "the tyranny of th majority"

Both of Clinton terms would be ruled by minority then because he never got a majority of the vote. The first time he missed by a lot.

Edit: Not sure how the Senate was at the time. The only reason I can imagine Gorsuch didn’t get more Dem votes is because they were pissed otherwise I would think he would have had a majority as you are defining it.
