If this goes through, time for Biden to push headlong for increasing the Supreme Court.
Trump already has said he will be putting forth a nominee in the next few days. He never even gave condolences before announcing that.
Pack the court, give DC and PR statehood.

I do think the D’s are going to be much more motivated by this.
Well you see the Republicans blocked a supreme court nomination 4 years ago which left us in this spot.How did it get to the point that an 87 year old woman in a prolonged battle with cancer was a key bulwark for the Democrats?
Democrats tend to argue amongst themselves over which better version of legislation than the shit we have now is betterer instead of focusing on actually winning.
Thus why they lose.
Sure - but what works as a good idea in a deep blue part of Queens doesn't work necessarily work 40 minutes away in a purple suburb, and it sure as hell doesn't work 2 hours away in more rural areas.More often than not Democrats lose because they spend time thinking about how to get Republicans to buy in rather than forging ahead on the belief that they have power and good ideas.

This is the one thing that's helping me feel a little better about all of this. There's definitely a fire being lit under a lot of people, for sure, and I really hope that does translate into some significant action/voter turnout/etc, and actually leads to some positive outcomes besides.
What happens when Trump challenges the results and it goes before this court. Assuming it the seat doesn’t get filled it’s a 5-3 vote
