I was going to vote absentee, but with the way things are now with Dirty Donny fucking with the USPS, I'm wearing a Tyvek body suit, full face mask, and elbow length Nitrile gloves. Just let them try to stop me!

Sure, the Supreme Court should ALWAYS be on the ballot.

But it may be far too late to do anything about Ginsburg's replacement.

I guess Biden's best shot at a pick would be if something happened to Thomas. I can't imagine he would retire while Biden was in office.

Happen over 4 or more years. It’s likely that whoever is elected will get a nominee. And increasing the size of the Supreme Ct is possible.

We also don’t know that replacing RBG will happen as quickly as Mitch thinks it will.

Impeachment of a Supreme Court Judge is more Fantasy than a realistic possibility.
