on the other hand with RBG gone the current makeup of the court is 3 liberal leaning justices and 5 conservative leaning justices - - - - until RBG is replaced I would think that conservatives would have a big advantage in ant cases decided by the supreme court unless the court decided to kick issues down the road by intentionally voting 4 / 4
If by some chance the presidential election results were to be questioned like they were in 2000 when Gore fought Bush I doubt if got to the Supreme Court that they would simply pass or intentionally vote a tie and effectively punt - - - I also suspect that many Democrats might like the odds in a case like this better if a replacement for RBG were seated
interesting times - - - and really should make people think twice about voting for Biden - - seriously how could anyone support making race and gender the top priorities for nominating someone to our nations highest court - for life!
