HBO Video: The Supreme Court ~ Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, 9/27/2020 (21:12).
John Oliver says giving statehood to Washington DC and Puerto Rico is "the right f*cking thing to do" to help make government more representative of the electorate. Also get rid of the Electoral College. According to Richard Nixon (who urged abolising it), "Every four years the American democracy places a large, unacceptable, and unnecessary wager that the [electoral college] will work one more time".
Description: In the wake of Ruth Bader Ginsberg's death, John Oliver discusses the future of the Supreme Court, why the government doesn’t always represent the political leanings of the electorate, and how those issues will impact the next generation of Americans.
