Here's a question that has been on my mind for some time:

If Biden wins a clear victory, a 1984 Reagan style win, and Trump refuses to leave the White House, and filed lawsuits between November and January 20, how does Clarence Thomas vote?

As an aside, I would like to add that when he began testifying in 1991 I set my VHS tape recorder and I have tapes of the entire testimony from CNN. My daughter was born that year, and I thought this was of signal importance for her someday perhaps. As it turns out, she’s a professor of communications and these tapes or weirdly, a source of family Pride. And yes, the print-through and distortion is not too bad for those asking.

Silly question. There's nothing for the Supreme Court to decide. The election will be confirmed and we'll get on with our shitty lives dealing with Coronavirus.

I'm not sure the Supreme Court would split along party lines. I think the majority would look at the data, the electoral college, the popular vote, and do the right thing.
