"Court-stripping"- as authorized in Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 - also can be used to fix the massive list of "Egregiously Wrong" decisions of the Roberts court and earlier judicial travesties, including Citizens United, Shelby vs Holder, Buckley vs Valeo, and to prevent Scotus from gutting future legislation on voting rights, gerrymandering, and the very important Scotus Term Limits coupled with scheduled retiring and hiring, similar to election schedules.

In preparation to do this, coordinated, good "messaging" will be needed. So in the beginning, how about choosing more palatable euphemisms other than "Court Stripping"?

That sounds like it came from the same folks who put the fear in everyone with "defund the police", and of course, "court packing". Instead, somethings like, Stop the - Scotus "Overreach," Scotus "Takeover", Scotus' "War on Personal Freedom."

Or, Message to Scotus: "Stay in your lane!"

... You get the idea. Frank Luntz might be proud if we find and use "Words That Work."

So gratified for someone to just call them "religious fanatics!" "Conservative" is so weak in this context, yet so much the media's fallback label. Let's point out that the tyranny is 100% one-sided: nobody is demanding mandatory abortions, mandatory birth control, or forced religious conversion to Christian denominations or other religions that have different teachings about when God wills that the female is merely an incubator. I like "zealot tyrants."
