      I can't wait for the Trump v. Biden case about the Wisconsin recount to reach the supreme court and they hand him the election

          I've been listening to the 5-4 podcast a lot recently and it just seems so perfect for hellworld

      The Republicans have been on a decades-long quest to flip the Supreme Court and every court they could touch. The Republicans are actually 2 seats STRONGER in the Senate now than when they pushed Kavanaugh through. Right now, it looks like Trump may lose the election in the Fall and that Republicans might lose the Senate along with the House

      Doesn't this end up fucking them hard in the medium run though? They ram something through, the Dems sweep everything, pack the court, whatever the fuck the wanna do. They can also expand lower courts and overrule a bunch of Trump appointments.

          The most ghoulish thing I can think of is leave the seat vacant for the election to boost turnout. If they win, fine. They appoint. If they lose, they still ram it through in a lame duck.

          This actually sounds like the most likely course.

        the RBG appointment trump rams through will be deciding the election when it inevitably goes to the supreme court. Dems arent gonna sweep it. Also the dems wont pack the courts. Stop fantasising as a coping mechanism and let the jokerfication wash over you.

          I'm not fantasizing anything, and oh my god the conspiracy theory level dumbshit of thinking that the SC nominee is going to decide the election is hilarious
