    I mean, depends, I think the Dems have a pretty good cudgel themselves. This would help both sides a great deal. The GOP may not wait, but it's a good idea for them to.

      I think the republicans are immediately going to put up a nominee but people like lisa murkowski i think i have said they won't confirm a new justice this year. either way both sides are going to go furious into 'call your senator' mode which will probably end up making the turnout in nov insane on both sides.

        I totally forgot about Murkowski, and Romney's also been getting off on being an anti-Trump Republican so I think you're right, they won't have the numbers.

          yea msnbc's reporting now that she just made a new statement that reaffirmed what she said earlier this year, so there's that.

            Definitely doesn't seem to be the slam dunk everyone thinks it is, but fuck if she'd died a year ago there'd be no question.
