    As I was saying, the goal is to do Bush v. Gore Redux.https://twitter.com/rebeccaballhaus/status/1308853666087043072 …

    Trump says he wants to fill the Supreme Court vacancy because he thinks the election outcome will end up in the Supreme Court. “I think having a 4-4 situation is not a good situation, if you get that."

        Since Trump's own words keep hitting on this, here again is my column on Trump wanting the courts to settle the presidential election:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-court-election-vacancy/ …

        Expect armed "poll watchers" during the actual election as well.

        Oh it's Bush v. Gore on steroids. Trump and his campaign have already mapped out the Supreme Court as their preferred ultimate arbitrator of the election and are doing everything to cause the chaos that would lead them to this scenario.

        I feel like there’s a chance Repubs are just feeding him this idea so he don’t decide to dangle the vacancy.

        Dangling it would have been the most rational strategy to hyper-motivate R turnout, right? I feel split between “they want to win any post-election challenges” and “they expect to lose the trifecta but they think Biden won’t have the balls to pack the court.”

        But in 2000, a judge was not nominated and confirmed after early voting had already started. Nothing similar at all.

        And, as with any shitty action sequel, it has to be way bigger, cost a lot more, and be infinitely less creative/more stupid.

        Under any imaginable scenario in a SCOTUS case, it would be 5-3 Trump. If Trump expects even Justice Roberts to side against him, he must be planning some straight-up Operation Condor shit.

        The goal is to stay in power, Supreme Courting it is just a fallback plan in case they lose. They're not picky about their tactics
