The lifetime appointment of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court is dedicated to Susan Sarandon...

70. It's too late now. Oh, I voted already, but it's too fucking late to fucking matter.

Except on principle. They've got their super majority on the Court now and a majority on federal benches, the majority of of them tRump appointees. If - and that's a big if - Joe manages to pull this off, the House remains in Democratic hands, and the most important senate can be won by the Dems too (and I believe all will agree that would be an extraordinary alignment of the stars to make it happen), maybe they could appoint additional justices to the SCOTUS. Maybe. But you know there's going to be at least one or two groups of rethugs that file state lawsuits in retug-run states to prevent it from happening and appeal, appeal up to the highest court in the land, where the rethugs will overturn the appointments and rule them unconstitutional (even though there is nothing to prohibit the Dems from having done so).

Young women of childbearing age (and their young daughters if they have them) need to be thinking in the next few days about taking permanent steps to have themselves voluntarily sterilized or it'll be back alley abortions with hangers all over again. Welcome back to the good old days before Roe v. Wade.
