5. I would love it that would happen but I am not counting on it on it. Why?

A number of reasons but the first is we would have to increase the number of SCOTUS seats to offset the number of conservative justices.
Why? Because they could overturn any laws and sentences for people.
Second is we would have to redefine the commutation and pardon powers for the President and limit it so a future Repugnant cannot undermine any sentences.
To do that we need to keep the House, the Presidency and have a strong enough majority in the Senate and keep the House and Senate for at least 12 to 18 years so they cannot repeal the laws to soon and that will be very difficult to manage.
