Agree with an amendment in favor of parliamentary systems. Or even re-writing much of the constitution, but I'm not gonna pretend like we're in any position to hold a constitutional convention in the current political climate, even if the will was there. Same for an amendment, I guess.

The other thing I haven't seen discussed here yet is that Alito and Thomas want to retire, but won't step down unless the president is GOP/Trump. How much that motivates the decisions of Roberts and the rest of the Trump-appointed SCOTUS is a fair question, but it probably explains at least a bit.
