People who say "Vote for Biden! Or Trump replaces RBG!" need to contend w/this: Obama/Biden "worked together" w/McConnell on SCOTUS. They appeased him w/a moderate, failed, then REFUSED TO PLAY HARDBALL FOR 8 MONTHS while McConnell ensured Trump would be the one to replace Scalia https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1249094876366503938
If Biden wants to appeal to the Left, he can start by vowing to begin working on DAY ONE to impeach every last justice appointed by our lawless, crime-boss President—and packing the courts until that's accomplished. But he won't, for the same reason he rolled over for McConnell.
Some of the replies seem to be missing the point, so to be more clear: There is little reason to believe Joe Biden won't nominate a justice pre-approved by McConnell to replace RBG in exchange for, say, a group hug photo-op or a made-to-be-broken promise not to defund Obamacare.
