Meh. She should have resigned when a Obama was still President. She was already 5 years into a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
I mean, I know it’s too early. But still.

Our nightmare: McConnel and his minions confirm a very young, very I-1 loyalist in the next two or three weeks. The righties then have a 6-3 majority. The election goes sideways due to all the carp that I-1 is currently orchestrating. I-1 contests everything (even the date of Election Day). It goes to the Supremes like Bush v Gore. Even if one of the righties sprouts a conscience and calls it for the sham it is, the rest of them declare I-1 the winner.
It’s scorched earth, no holds barred, authoritarian rule from there.
Somebody please wake me up.

Pack the Court
I'm favorably disposed to the idea in January if the Democrats wind up with 50 senators. I'm not sure I like the idea of campaigning on it.

Now the fight begins. This will place a half dozen GOP senators in the spotlight. Romney will be unlikely to countenance McConnell ramming through an appointment. What will Collins do?
Ultimately, I'd bet on Mitch winning, and we'll just have to live with it.
But you can bet that the first two years of a Biden administration will see the Democrats ram though anything and everything they can agree upon (agreement, that will be the problem) with no regard for GOP sentiment and fusty comments about comity and the need for consensus. Filibuster? Gone. Fifty Democratic senators and they'll be able to do anything they please.

quote:Schumer to Senate Dems on a conference call today, per source: “Let me be clear: if Leader McConnell and Senate Republicans move forward with this, then nothing is off the table for next year. Nothing is off the table.”
quote:I’m not open to the idea at all. Game theoretically, there’s no equilibrium point other than status quo. I’m too much of an institutionalist to want to start down that never-ending path.
