    So maybe just no new Justices, till SCOTUS hits 5 and they can't make quorum. Then end of constitutional governancehttps://twitter.com/TPM/status/702236016086818816 …

        @HeerJeet Sir, I've no love for McConnell, but he's no fool. What worse thing is he hoping to avoid by going maximalist against Scotus Nom?

        @HeerJeet what if the next one to unexpectedly pass is one of the conservatives? then dems and pubs reverse roles?

        @HeerJeet @TPM there are no quorum rules for SCOTUS. Hell, if GOP takes WH they could pass a law letting Cruz appoint six justices.

        @HeerJeet It's interesting to consider what would happen if Court of Appeal rulings were the highest legal authority in their circuits ...

        @HeerJeet If we have a Dem POTUS and McConnell remains Maj. Leader in 2017, seems entirely possible.
