True.

I think we all know, that whoever wins the 2020 election, is going to nominate the replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and perhaps some others. I think the makeup of the courts will be a big issue for both parties this year.

SCOTUS appointments are indeed important but just as important and maybe more so is the Senate majority. If Trump wins and the Democrats take the Senate they will impeach him and if not kill his court appointments.

The dems have already hinted that they’d like to add Justices to SCOTUS to “correct” Trump’s picks. And they’ve said they might eliminate the filibuster in the Senate to make passing such a bill doable.

If Trump wins Half of the people on the bench will probably be Trump appointees. If the Senate doesn’t have to rely on Mittens, Collins or Murkowski then you may even get a few decent judges.
