If the left somehow manages to keep the current appointee off of the SCOTUS using the current false allegation tactics (I don't think they'll succeed but let's assume they did) and they also succeeded at flipping the House and Senate (I also don't think they will but let's assume they did) and they then begin to block any and all Trump nominations for the 9th seat on the Supreme Court... what will the left do when the court leans Conservative 4 to 3?

The chances of RBG outliving President Trump's time in the White House is slim to none, It's only a matter of time before she takes the room temperature challenge. Even she agrees that this charade against Kavanaugh is bad for the country and bad for the court. If the left is truly worried about Roe vs. Wade being overturned how would they prevent it if the court leans 4 to 3 and they refuse to put anyone on the court that Trump nominates?

I'd rather leave the seat open than award it to someone like Kavanaugh.

And you have no way of knowing if RBG will outlast Trump's time in office or not. He could easily be gone before she is.

Let's just assume that RBG doesn't outlast Trump. How do you feel about the court leaning 4 to 3 Conservative?

It's better than 5-4.

We've been aware that the court was going to swing Conservative the moment the GOP successfully stole the seat. It's not like we didn't know their dirty tricks were going to pay off for them. But Kavanaugh is not SC material no matter how you slice it. Pick someone else. You have the numbers. The Democrats can't stop you.

Great to see a shift to the side respecting the Constitution as written.

Why is 4 to 3 better than 5 to 4 in your opinion? Kennedy was the only somewhat reliable swing vote that Democrats could count on and he's gone. Be specific, give me some details.

Because it means Kavanaugh won't be on the Court. He has no business there.

Like I said, once the Republicans stole the seat we knew the court would be pushed to the right. Congratulations. You should all be very proud.

We followed the Biden rule.

Now for putting up a horrible DNC 2016 nominee, you get to watch a wonderful Conserv majority court the next 25 years, upholding the Constitution you fear so much.

MAGA!!

Show me where the so-called "Biden rule" was ever enacted.

I'll wait.
