ANALYSIS: The US election just got nastier — and Biden has a new weapon

The importance of such judicial appointments to Republicans cannot be understated. Few, if any, issues are more sacrosanct to them.

Before Trump was elected in 2016, many Republicans questioned just how conservative he would be. In response, the Trump campaign made the unusual move of releasing a list of its intended candidates for the Supreme Court. With Trump's victory reliant on a combined margin of just under 80,000 votes across Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, even the smallest of advantages — in this case, those deciding who to vote for based on the Supreme Court — could have had outsized importance.Some have posited a Supreme Court vacancy may help Trump's chances in this year's election because it shifts the focus of the race away from the president's mismanagement of the coronavirus crisis and the poor economy.

There is no doubt what McConnell and Trump are planning to do. The more pertinent question is whether 49 Republicans in the Senate will go along with them.Even the most anti-Trump Republicans — like Senator Mitt Romney, who voted to impeach Trump earlier this year — have supported the president's previous picks for the Supreme Court.

Some Democrats, already frustrated by Republicans having nominated 15 of the last 19 Supreme Court justices despite Republicans having lost the popular vote in six of the past seven presidential elections, have already pledged to make fundamental shifts to the country if they win the power to do so.

The momentum is with Trump -centrist democrats don’t want a radical on the court - they will go for a constitutionalist way before a far left activist judge which the progressive base want from Biden

Worse that 190,000 deaths... I'm pretty sure clicking this article is going to be disappointing
