So Senator Burr Will Keep SCOTUS W/Only 8 Judges For 4 Years.

Assuming Hillary wins the election it looks like the nation cannot count on having any new justice. Does that mean that there will be NO new federal judges as well? Why doesn't the GOP pay a price for this malfeasance? Of course maybe this election will correct that.

What else will the GOP refuse to do?

By that time, the court would be done to 5 or 6, seemsvtgey're planning on snuffing it out since by then the Latino vote will be overwealming and the court would dwindle to slmost nothing by 2033
