What if Trump preemptively packs the SC court?
What if selects a replacement for Ginsburg, and then packs on or 3 more? Beating us to the punch.
Between now and December 31st?

Trump will select a replacement. 100% Guaranteed
they will wait till after the election though.
If he wins, they will make it look like a normal process.
If he loses, they will ram it in before the next Senate is seated.
If Dems don't win the Senate, it'll be 9 to 3 for another 4.
If the Dems win the Senate, and Trump loses, the SC will be packed during Bidens Term. And then again during Bidens successors term. And again after Bidens successors successors term.
This is a bad situation, with bad or worse outcomes. No good ones.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump run in 2024 after he loses in 2020
He would still be eligible.
Just a scary thought that 2020 won't be the last.
