I'm scared to death about RBG and Covid19

I'm really having a hard time with the potential effects this virus can have on heroes like RBG... shes a prime example of those affected the most. Someone please talk some sense into me.

I dont even know how I will wake up if tRump replaces her on the bench. Grrr

Most of the current Justices are in the high risk age group. The same is true for our leadership team in the House.

if biden wins, and we have senate and house, #1 priority will be to expand SC to 11 justices. It will be necessary to restore US constitution due to Merick Garland when the turtle suspended constitution.

He's not going to change it, but he will appoint a great new Justice if RGB or anyone else retires before 2024.

in November, it's RBG. A Democratic president would mean she could retire with the assurance that the Court won't be worse for her leaving. Bless her for trudging through these last 3 1/2 years.
