If Hillary had won, she wouldn't have been able to appoint a justice to fill the seat (or Gorsuch's seat, for that matter). Essentially the result would have a brief liberal majority on the court, likely leading to a popular backlash and a GOP landslide in 2020. The GOP pretty much had the court locked up after they stopped Obama from appointing Scalia's replacement; the presidential election didn't change a thing. --- Congrats to 2017 Guru champ BKSheikah! <cite>Xeybozn posted [p:904071261] in Politics C...
