It would be more useful if Biden did the Court thing rather than waiting for Harris to maybe do it if she wins. What if she doesn't win? What is she wins, but the existing Court does yet more damage between now and then?

I do agree with you that Biden was a good President. I've never seen a President that did all the stuff we wanted, but they've always faced opposition and had to make comprises to get anything at all pushed through. I really wanted nationalized health care, but the best Obama could do was Obamacare -- which isn't great, but is sooo much better than the whole 'pre-existing conditions' denial system we had before. I really want the U.S. to stop backing Israel because of the Gaza crisis, but I don't want to see all the surrounding nations to wipe Israel off the map if the U.S. isn't there. I thought Biden gave a fantastic State of the Union speech. We know it was on a teleprompter, but he delivered with energy and style. I suspect his decline (as with so many other aging people) has been uneven/sporadic, so I can't even blame anyone for 'hiding' his decline because I bet everyone was seeing lots of good days in there, too -- at least until the last month or so.

Off topic: I have a relative going through a sudden decline. She's been old for a long time, but the last couple months have been a dramatic change for the worse despite no particular health issue. She's just suddenly much, much older and even her neighbors are commenting to us family. Seeing it in her, I imagine Biden might be going through the same thing.
