Their only win would be the optics of not seeing the RBG seat go empty.
You mean her seat at the speech (not on the bench, I presume). I thought some of the SC justices stopped going after that finger wagging session from Obama. Anyway, no big deal, not sure why SCOTUS is there, or even wants to be there. It’s not a cocktail party. Personally think it’s a win-win, either the Speaker caves in order to keep the speech in her chamber and for her members, or, it moves to the Senate (implicit threat that this will be the new precedent) and Speaker Nancy loses more than she bargained for. Imagine a SOTU where 90% of the House is simply unable to attend.
Nevermind, I read it backwards...doh!
