If U.S. election winds up in Supreme Court, Ginsburg's death will loom large

Before Ginsburg’s death, the court had a 5-4 conservative majority, so even if her seat were to remain vacant, Democrats would need two conservative votes to avoid losing or a 4-4 tie in any post-election case. A repeat of the situation in 2000, when the election came down to a few hundred votes in Florida out of 100 million cast nationwide, remains unlikely, experts said.

The court has also rejected emergency bids to expand voting options in Texas and Alabama, while declining to intervene in a Florida case over whether hundreds of thousands of former felons should be allowed to vote before paying fines.If a post-election case winds up before the Supreme Court and Ginsburg’s replacement is not yet in place, Democrats would likely aim to persuade Chief Justice John Roberts, who is seen as the court’s swing vote, to rule in their favor.

If he were to join the three remaining liberals, that would create a 4-4 split, which would leave in place any lower court decision but could undermine public confidence in the Supreme Court. Republican Senator Ted Cruz said on Fox News on Friday that Trump needed to replace Ginsburg to forestall the possibility of a deadlocked court and a “constitutional crisis.”

All the more reason to fill the seat.

That's why democrats need to vote in mass numbers

That means Trump had sabotaged and won...

“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

It won’t.

Now why would the election wind up in the SCOTUS?

Republican Supreme Court has already shown contempt for voting rights, which is one of the reasons Neil Gorsuch was installed: * Extreme partisan gerrymandering, 5-4 * Don't count votes in WI when state send ballots late, 5-4 * States purge 17,000,000 Americans per cycle, 5-4

Reuters acknowledges that Democrat appointed justices are ideologues 1st and judges last.

Who will you vote? Get to see

It will loom large... For the best constitutional conservative bench in years 🇺🇸

Dems have already promised to contest the outcome “no matter what”. FillTheSeatNOW

The constitution does not support Trump’s attempts to steal this election.

amazing the presidential election could finish up in court. Rotten to the core me thinks

The Democrats have made it clear they will litigate the election if Trump wins. The seat must be filled. FillTheSeat

marklevinshow seanhannity Ginsburg was a first sitting Supreme Court Justice to make official newspaper comment on presidential candidate in US election ?

Since we are talking trump, does anyone wonder if RBG passed due to natural causes or was 'helped' along. The timing seems incredibly suspicious and well, with trump involved, anything is possible.
