When they get power again they need to challenge the court's extremism. I've seen ideas like term limits or packing the court with more than 9 judges.

They won’t get power again in a meaningful way. The last election was their “last stand”. The U.S. has a rigged court and gerrymandered senate. Kamala was right about one thing, “we’re not going back”. Unfortunately, the context was wrong. In this case, it’s, “we’re not going back to being a functional democracy”.

Hard to see a path to Dems winning a Senate majority.

That is being naive, the way it is going, elections will be as free as in any other authoritarian country.

Ideally there will be enough representation in congress to remove justices like Thomas for blatant corruption / conflict of interest.
