True. They will also say the GOP set up a new process where we don’t consider Supreme Court nominees in an election year, because of what was done in 2016 after Scalia died.
So between impeachment and a presidential election year happening, the Democrats will claim we can’t consider Supreme Court nominees until after the 2020 presidential election.
That’s all fine...even if Roberts goes to vote along the left side....it’s a four-four tie, so the court achieves nothing until January of 2021.
What would be curious is if you had RBG and a second left-member of the court who went into serious health issues or passing, and this GOP agreement about election years being a national problem.
