The 2016 election will go down as the worst in the history of the United States. It will have ramifications that will affect every person on this planet long after Trump has left office (assuming he ever does before he dies).
There will be no reprieve from Mitch and his henchmen in the Senate. They aren’t going to hold up the nomination for the new Supreme Court Justice out of respect for RBG or because of the precedent Mitch himself established in 2016. The SCOTUS will be 6-3 with another Kavanaugh or worse and probably before election day.
Don’t expect Collins or Gardner or any of the GOP senators on the ropes to do anything but roll over and let Trump and Mitch rub their bellies.
Now the only question becomes will they interfere in the election results when Trump surely disputes his loss. Will the extremist SCOTUS take action to keep Trump in power.
We are all just leaves blowing in whatever direction the GOP wants now. The only way to fight is with our vote, and we have to vote in huge numbers and leave no doubt. Because this time the election isn’t just for the next 4 years it might be for the life of our country and the right to vote ever again…
RIP, Ms Ginsberg. Thank you for your service.
