How would that fix it?
Legit question btw, is there something Biden could do right now to fix it?

He could pull a FDR and threaten to expand the court. That's about it, though, I guess. Technically speaking the Dems could get rid of the filibuster and codify abortion legislation, but there are holdouts and Biden doesn't have control over them. Realistically, though, he's not going to attempt to do either anyway.
Yeah, kill the filibuster, line the supreme court with additional democrat judges. But he's a fucking coward and every politician is an asshole, so nothing's gonna happen
Unironically he could have mounted an edgelord/asshole independent run back in the day not dissimilar to the previous president and gotten some votes.
But now? Nah.
But now? Nah.
Howard actually pulled out of running for NY Governor because he'd have to disclose how much money he made, but now that he knows that he doesn't have to do that for the Presidency he might actually be serious about a run.
If I'm going to vote for an old progressive its gonna be Bernie Sanders. No more half steps. Aoc is more ready then nearly all of congress and definitely more ready then any random celebrity.
Part of a rant about expanding the courts and eliminating the electoral college, he's half joking, and it doesn't matter anyway, Howard Stern ain't winning a Democratic nod. The Hill is shit, no need to signal boost it's stupid bull shit about radio personalities saying things.
"Kill the filibuster" would require a bigger majority in one of the houses than he has because of those two chucklefucks who won't get in line, right?
Who needs to put their money and national influence where it could help people in the short and long term when you can just make this about yourself?

Just pulled it up. He is clearly joking.
He and Robin are joking about how she would be first lady, with her joking about blowing him in office. Then he talks about how dumb the electoral college is and how he would do away with it... Even though he doesn't know if the president can.
He is in no way being serious.
This is fucking stupid.
Correct. You are neither killing the filibuster nor expanding the Supreme Court without a Senate majority that agrees to go along with that, and right now, we probably have 48 that are willing to kill the filibuster (probably for certain things and not in a blanket way). Packing/expanding the court I'm not sure on where the current 50 D Senators stand, but you aren't getting Manchin to go along with that no matter what.
This was a very stupid thing for The Hill to spend any time on.

I forget what that movie is called but I can picture the image lmao.
just reshoot this with the American flag, and "Vote for Me" text; and there's ya campaign poster.
I don't want him as president, but I would take any one who is capable of getting us the senate and house majority we can to ram the fixes we need through this country. At this point, whatever it takes.

I'm surprised anyone's reporting on the show at all nowadays. It's already long past its glory days, and covid pulling Howard out of the studio was like the nail in the coffin. That being said, $500M contract, so I guess somebody's still sticking with it.
Technically speaking even if Democrats had the votes in the Senate to codify abortion rights it wouldn't matter because the court would just rule the law unconstitutional. Expanding the court is the only way to get around that short of a constitutional amendment.
I listened to the bit and I don't really think he's being serious. I mean, he's right about the need to get rid of the electoral college, but he was saying those things while everybody was laughing their ass off. Then again, if America wants to greet the world with another celebrity president, Howard Stern wouldn't probably be the worst choice.
