I think Dems realize this would look blatantly and purely political and it would not generate favoribility for them and would definitely reflect poorly in the polls. |

Which districts specifically?
That's possible but I don't think it will dissuade them from going ahead with it.. there's already a decent chance they are going to lose the Senate and like I said before if they don't lose the Senate it's pretty likely that even if Biden wins they won't confirm his SC pick. |

If Trump wins again, and the R's maintain the Senate, he might be able to get two more SC picks in the best case. That would probably be the most consequential legacy of any Republican president. For better or for worse. Then again, Bush's presidency was also consequential, but in a different way.

Isn't that a little harsh if she doesn't want to blurt out a strategy that's still in the making? I think the Dems are probably considering increasing the number of SC judges in January if they get back into power. Not a good move to publicly announce that to McConnell, though, or he'll start doing the same between Nov and Dec.

Yes, Pelosi has a reputation as a cunning survivor - not so much as a principalled champion.
Yes, I'm worried about the chances of the Dems getting into power, especially as this has now become a possibilty:- i) a GOP judge is put in the Supreme Court ii) the election is close and goes to the SC iii) a Dem landslide in the election is contested by Trump and goes to the SC iv) the SC flexes its new-found GOP majority and gives Trump the election result he wants.

It's funny cause the same rules that people have been proposing here for why the Republicans might not act cause it would be too controversial... They don't apply to Republicans. They only apply to spineless Democrats that then project their own cowardice onto the GOP. Understand this... There are no such thing as norms anymore. There's no such thing as fairness. There's only what you can get away with and what you can't. Until the Dems figure that out they will always be losers. |
