An extremely implausible dream scenario

Enough Republican Senators are MIA due to covid to give the Democrats a slight majority of control in the Senate -while both the president and vice president eventually have become incapacitated due to the disease. Nancy Pelosi becomes acting president while the Democrats have a small majority and push through Merrick Garland into SCOTUS faster than anybody can blink.

I mean, it's not gonna happen but one can dream, right?

Then maybe resigns and lets her actually be president, if only for a few weeks, while Nancy goes back to running the House.


Far-fetched, yes, but one can dream.
