...and why it’s moving so slow.
There are two existential terrors Democrats face. First, their internal polling shows Trump winning again and secondly Ginsberg is dying.
“By almost all accounts, conservatives are one Justice short of the comfortable margin they’d need to reverse major Supreme Court precedents such as Roe v. Wade or the constitutional validation of the Affordable Care Act. It’s unlikely that today’s Court will remain unchanged until 2025, when a reelected Donald Trump would finally be forced to retire”
Supreme Court Vacancy in 2020 Would Change Everything
Now think to some of their past efforts to subvert our political processes. For instance using a fake Russia investigation, in which Trump was cleared after years of dragging it out, to try and make the claim no appointments should be made by a President under investigation by his opponents.
Here is an example from 2017 from <<<Schumer>>>.
And that’s still the game plan. An unwinnable, baseless, slow, never completely official “impeachment inquiry” so that when Ginsberg kicks they can moan “no president should appoint a justice while being investigated for impeachment”
It’s their last chance to save their ruling politburo. She must be very very sick...and those polls must be terrifying.
No worries. Trump will ignore their histrionics and appoint Ginsberg’s replacement. The Senate will approve it. And in his second term he will appoint Breyers replacement.
And after that Pence will get his shot.
