The big thing will be watching what the Republicans do if and when her seat opens. If her seat becomes vacant in 2019, the circus around Kavanaugh will look like a firecracker compared to the MOAB event that the next one will bring.
But thats only if its open in 2019. I highly doubt the repub/swamp will stand up for the Constitution if that sest becomes open in 2020. The SWAMP will allow the democrats to use the presidential election to hold off the nomination until after the election.
I truly think that will tell us all if our county is too far gone or if we csn salvage things. The 2020 election is much more important than a normal one. Our voices must be heard with our votes.
If you look at the senate numbers there is not much the Dems can do about the so called "Biden Rule".
The Biden rule only applies if the party in power applies it.
With republicans holding the votes in the senate, where SCOTUS appointees are confirmed, than they should be able to vote the candidate through.
Sure there will be crying of "What about Merrick Garland" but as Obam mentioned - elections have consequences.
What we dont need is Senators dying in states with Democraatic governors or legislators that might replace a republican senator with a democrat one.
You can probably count on Snowflake and Romney to vote against whomever Trump nomionates.
