even though it may look like a long involved process, I have no doubt if they win the White House, Repubs will start the process as fast as they can. Observation tells me they are willing to move mountains and wait interminably to get what they want. They have time and money and they have a way of setting things up to force their outcome.

Must be wonderful to be so single minded.
