Naa it would be because Trump is a piece of garbage. There would not be support among anyone more that the radical left to pack the court.
That's just Trump though. Taking the house and senate too? I think that would indicate a major leftward shift in the general public. Mind you, I don't think it's gonna happen - maybe the Trump part, but not that plus the house and the senate.

Not in one fell swoop, but over a few years very possibly. It is not far-fetched for the Dems to take over the house now and then the senate either in 2020 or 2022.

The (republican) governor can immediately appoint another senator.

Not for the confirmation vote though (since he's still be a senator at that point).

You're thinking there may be a rule that you can't vote for yourself.  I have no idea of that's true

He'll step down from the senate before the vote and the governor will appoint someone that will vote for him.

@benshapiro: I'm not going to reveal why. All I can say is that I'm currently on a chartered flight to Washington D.C.

Anyone giving odds on it won't be a white male?
Here is your last chance to have me eat crow. Who wants to bet this racist president doesn't pick a white male? :)

Why do you feel everything should be measured by gender and/or skin color? Was Gorsuch a bad pick irrespective of gender or skin color? (FTR: RBG is terrible regardless of gender, as is Sotomayor).

Besides, in today's day and age of gender fluidity, how can one know how one might identify the next day?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

1 - I don't feel everything should be measured by gender/skin color.
2 - I have no issue with Gorsuch or another white male.
3 - No response needed.

I would expect a "good old boy" racist to pick a white male. If he gets another pick odds on favorite will be a white women.
