The biggest question, I think, in the event of the SC needing to decide the election, is what does a 4-4 vote mean? Would it return the presidency to Trump or not?

If favors Trump, then Roberts vote is neutralized., If not, he needs a new justice.

Can't see Romney voting to approve, Collins or Murkowski depends on where there constituents are on the issue. I know nothing about Alaska, but Maine (South) might be the kicker that tells Collins to vote no.

Best thing, IMO, is to nominate ACB and let the dems run their shitshow on a woman going in to the election. Pelosi already fucked up trashing the salon owner, when the dems double down and trash another woman the soccer moms are going to bolt.

Don't think Mukowski and Collins can vote no into the teeth of that and expect to come out unscathed on election day.

Yes. That's the point i was thinking about. It's like rolling the dice in the hope you get your lawsuit through first. But in this justice system?

I think putting ACB up is the best shot. Make them show their colors before election day.

Murkowski already talking shit about not voting is just trying to get Trump to not nominate anyone, meaning it's the best thing he could do to fuck them up, in my interpretation.

Surprised Mitt for brains hasn't piped up yet. Hoping, in his case, if he comes out against, especially if the dems trash a ACB nom, it will just make Utah vote Trump.

In the past Pro Forma sessions have been used to prevent recess appointments. Can McConnell get around this?
