4. There are a couple of wild cards, one of which is that Trump might nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett -- he kind of owes the Christian right and it makes sense for him to nominate a woman. But Barrett would also really throw the whole abortion issue front and center.

5. If it's Barrett then there's no plausible deniability. A vote for her would be a vote to end Roe. The election would be about Roe. It's a real gamble. But if he doesn't pick Barrett, there's risk of alienating some powerful allies. The situation is fluid.

As a Dem, with the large caveat that the election results don't find their way in the hands of SCOTUS, I'd much prefer the GOP rushes through a nominee, preferably a white dude. Dems will turn out like never before in history and will have to pack the courts in February.

There's no reason the Dems shouldn't do this regardless, given GOP actions the past decade, but this is the kick in the butt they need. And we can organize to push for a large package of structural reforms all at once early in leg session, to avoid midterm backlash.
