Wonder when the next time will be when a Justice gets 60 votes?

Big mistake; she was the deciding vote on Bush v. Gore. Maybe the most over-rated SCOTUS Justice in history.

2018, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”

This anniversary timing is unnerving given what is currently happening.
