From what I read, the Senate is on board and McConnell wants Amy Coney Barrett for a quick confirmation. They want a pro-life judget and don’t care about the politics so much. They think it might hurt them in the election but it is worth it to lock in a real conservative for 40 years on the court. If the democrats win the Presidency and Senate and court pack, they’ll have historic losses in the 2022 midterms and get Republicans back in power. But those are all short term calculations.
They will always lock in a 40 year term on the Supreme Court. Alaways. It’s probably even more important to them than Trump’s reelection.
I was leaning toward Lagoa but now think Barrett might be the better overall pick as polls show he is underperforming with conservative women who do not like his tweets. Barrett probably solidifies the pick and brings them on board. Vote for policy and hold your nose on Trump’s mean tweets.
Nice post. Good observations
