Suggestions for the first 100 days of President Biden's second term.

I have no doubts that this current President, who has a remarkable string of achievements in his first term, will also be successful in his second. That depends, of course, on us giving him a Democratic majority in both houses, something that is entirely doable and looks promising. But there are a couple of things I would like to see happen in those early days of the second Biden term as President.

So the first item of business for the new Senate will be to break the filibuster. Gridlock will cease when the filibuster is gone. Republicans no longer are interested in a government that works on compromise. They are, in fact, not really interested in a working government at all. Breaking the filibuster is a way to make government work again, and since they aren't interested in bi-partisan cooperation, why should we care?

No more waiting around for a justice to kick the bucket or retire to create suspense to fill the seat. Find the most liberal judges in the federal system in the United States and get them nominated to the Supreme Court. We need at least four, why not five? And with the new court, headed in a new direction, go back and undo everything the Roberts court has done since it became a conservative majority. Everything.
