So 4-4 decisions would go back to the lower courts decision.
Shame all those courts were flipped by Trump nominating 216 judges.
As of September 17, 2020, the United States Senate has confirmed 216 Article III judges nominated by President Trump, including two associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 53 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 159 judges for the United States district courts, and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade.
There are currently 34 nominations to Article III courts awaiting Senate action, including 33 for the district courts and one for the Court of International Trade. There is currently 1 vacancy on the Supreme Court, 58 vacancies on the U.S. district courts and two vacancies on the U.S. Court of International Trade.

Lots of lefties on Twitter calling for open war in the streets.

So Mitch not only should get Trump’s Justice nominee through, but also for good measure all the judges nominated.
One should point out that the democrats are experts at judge-shopping. I pointed that out in festival - Roberts is somehow compromised, though if the threat is equal on both sides of the issue, perhaps he will dig deep and pull out the actual constitutionalist within and vote correctly.
If they can push their case to the right courts and the right judges, they can still prevail in some jurisdictions, even with a 4-4 SCOTUS. Look at how many rogue judges keep getting their way against Trump regarding illegal immigration in this country.
The right goal now is to either get another justice, or spill the beans on Roberts now to get him OUT too.

War in the tunnels: U.S. military prepares for subterranean combat
“An enemy underground site can turn the tide of battle,” Pentagon official said. “We’re making sure it doesn’t happen to us.”

While the U.S. military continues to focus on traditional above-ground combat domains, defense officials have ramped up efforts to address the murky and increasingly threatening realm of subterranean warfare.
“Our adversaries have adapted their capabilities against our weaknesses by expanding their use of underground facilities,” Army officials wrote in a November publication on subterranean operations, noting that more than 10,000 “tactical tunnels” exist around the world.
The underground sites will be encountered more frequently during armed conflict, according to two modern war experts.
“With a trend toward greater urbanization, it will become even more difficult to avoid the subterranean environment,” wrote two retired officers, Maj. John Spencer and Col. Liam Collins, in an essay for the Association of the United States Army. It is “both folly and fantasy,” they wrote, “to believe soldiers will be able to avoid warfare’s reach into the underground.”
