a constitutional crisis? Are they not the ultimate arbiters of what is constitutional and what is not? We'll have a crisis for sure, but I'd call that a political crisis and not a constitutional one.
If this comes to SC, it all hinges on Comey Barrett *and* Kavanaugh, because you can be sure that Roberts will love the idea to give Trump whatever he wants on that front. He has always had an aversion to the concept of people being able to vote -- whether it's an emotional glitch or some ideological thing, I dunno.
We will all eventually come to the idea that after Trump, we will have to completely rethink how the state machinery works, kicking and screaming. We will need a constitutional reconstruction. The second republic, if you will.
