I've tried creating Flyer lifeforms in the past but they all seem to fizzle out quickly. Is there something that traveling lifeforms all have in common to use as a predictor that they will not only survive more than a few cycles, but move across the plane?

Isn't that what the Legislature is for?

The same supermajority power that resulted int he events of June 2022 could be used in reverse by a future Democrat supermajority, which disincentivizes changing the system. How do you convince both sides to give up that kind of power at the same time?

Yeah... I'm from a swing state, and I've gotten used to 95% of the material that both parties put out being more platform reiteration than substance. OP is largely repeating existing media talking points and doesn't make me feel like I'd get any more out of their book than I would from, say, tuning in to MSNBC at the right moment.

I agree that the Judicial system in the US is overpowered for its role, but any argument that doesn't answer how to shift those powers back to the legislature, or just settles at muckraking and "bad thing is bad" isn't worth my time.
