So he is NOT resigning his seat? If he doesn't, there's no way anyone else gets on the ballot. NOT A CHANCE!

Geez, did he ever get to the point? Is he resigning or not?

[Senator_Blutarski]

He is not resigning.

The plot line is that the Democrats want a new candidate that can win.

Torch asks SCOTUS to install a new candidate.

SCOTUS refuses.

Democrats howl that SCOTUS has "SELECTED" a Republican again.

Democrats use this to demomonstate that we need a Democratically controlled Senate to prevent the Conservative SCOTUS from fixing all elections.
