If a nominee to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is confirmed, it would move the Supreme Court even further to the right. The court is the most conservative it has been in nearly 75 years.
It's unclear when that vote would take place — either before the election or during a lame-duck session. And it's not clear if Republicans would have the votes to pass a nominee. It would almost certainly be close.It's also not clear how — or if — this reshapes the calculus in any way for the 2020 election. It could fire up the GOP base, which cares a great deal about the court. And it could fire up Democrats, especially women, to go to the polls for Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
But little has moved the needle in this election one way or the other, and those groups were already enthusiastic about voting. A woman, mourning the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, holds a sign at the Supreme Court that reads,"when there are nine," something Ginsburg said to describe when there'd be enough women on the court.A woman, mourning the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, holds a sign at the Supreme Court that reads,"when there are nine," something Ginsburg said to describe when there'd be enough women on the court.
