On SCOTUS, the Republicans' disgraceful maneuver of blocking Garland to get to Barrett deserves an energetic reposte. Enlargement of the court to bring it into some concordance with the will of the people is necessary when the Democrats take back power next week, lest the residue of Trump's malevolence linger for decades to come.
On splitting up California, I've written much on the subject. Theoretically, you could split the state two ways or three ways and obtain states with roughly equally populations and resources. Practically, there is almost no support for such measures, even though the status quo drastically reduces our political power, i.e., one senator for every 20 million people. Wyoming has one for every 250,000.
