GOP plans to bring election before USSC. Worries about a tie. Wants RW appointee to decide.




GOP now arguing Senate must replace Ginsburg now because if the election is litigated, just 8 justices risks a deadlock, and constitutional crisis.

Rubbish. Giving a last-minute Trump appointee power to decide whether Trump is the next president would be a constitutional crisis.

why not simple propose in advance that whoever the next president elect wants as the nominee to fill this SC vacancy will be the person who gets a confirmation hearing? I'm sure Democrats would agree to that. Problem solved.
