LOL. What if Ginsburg croaks tomorrow? No rush to fill that spot...
Exactly. The Dems dont think beyond one move ahead.
* In the Private Sector you have "Key Man Insurance," they can't fly airplane's, race cars etc being an Exec.
* Their is contingency / succession plans in the private sector for these Exec's because life happens.
* The Congress can't run like that because of elections and by extension ditto that the SC.
* So they play politics because it is all they know.
But it is worse for the DNC. Breyer is getting long in the tooth, RGB we all know the drill, and Sotomayor's health challenges w/ Type 1 diabetes. This is on top of anyone one of them having a health event that puts them on the other side of the lawn or it forces them to resign. The ones I mention are another 3. Thomas is the wild card as rumors of him wanting to retire and motor home the US.
So, can you imagine 4 new SCJ's because of health, retirements, or passing on between now and 2024 aka the end of PDJT's last term? Gird your Loins, either the DNC moves back to normalcy or collapses because in their current state of mind and behavior. How does the Republic endure this DNC goat rodeo four more times?
