After RBG’s death but before her replacement takes the seat, can a lower court rule that her staff can prepare her ruling until the new Justice comes on board?
It would seemingly be the only really fair course of action
Joking, right?
Only a leftist progressive democrat hack would think its “fair” for a dead person to vote

The question has already been asked and answered by the court. Its a resounding NO. If the justice is not alive on the day the vote is taken, they get no vote. It does not matter how they would have voted. It does not matter even if the decision is already written by the dead justice. They have to be there at the end to cast a vote or they get no vote.
