...the Repubs would be happy with that exchange (Kav appointed to SCOTUS in exchange for losing the Senate). They know the next two years are going to be more or less a stalemate in the federal government (I'm assuming the Dems will win back the majority in the House). Mathematically, they can't lose enough Senate seats to let the Dems impeach anyone if they stand united, and they most certainly would stand united with any impeachment challenge of a sitting Repub-appointed justice.

They're gonna be happy as pigs in shit that they have engineered the coup to grab a majority of SCOTUS justices.

May kharma somehow bite their smelly arses.
