JCB Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 More important than ever to take the Senate and then pick up seats in 2022. There’s increasing public support for constraining judicial review, adding seats, and introducing term limits. Let’s ****ing mourn tonight and fight tomorrow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 So I guess the thought process is that, even if Trump loses the election, he'd be president until at least January 20, so he would be able to get a SC Justice confirmed before then? Is there any thought that you'd have a confirmation hearing even before the election? Tough to imagine that................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
