Let SCOTUS be tied, 4-4. Hence, no decisions, no changes.
The, after Ruth goes to join the 60 million who were deprived of their lives, the court will be 4-3, with a conservative majority.
And it can stay like that, as far as I’m concerned.
Wouldn’t that give the next President two chairs to fill? If the next President was a Lib, then the court would be 5 / 4 in their favor and the possibility of going to 6 / 3 over a Presidential term.
...Let SCOTUS be tied, 4-4. Hence, no decisions, no changes...
Not a good idea. When that happens, there will be binding decisions of the lower Court that SCOTUS is hearing on appeal.
So, actually, a tie on a lower Court’s decision to approve blanket amnesty for illegals, or approving confiscation of your guns gets a tie, the lower Court decision is binding till a 9th Justice is seated. Then the case CAN be heard again for a tie breaker.
