Edit, I was wrong maybe? Seems inauguration is always on same date?

——

Original post left for reference:

Ironically the left has shot themselves in the foot.

The new SCOTUS doesn't have to be sworn in before the next election, they only have to be sworn in before the next inauguration.

The left has been setting up so many voter laws to cause the election to get dragged on for so many weeks as they count ballots post-facto that they now have pushed the inauguration so far back that a new SCOTUS will have time to be confirmed.

They can't have both (They'll likely have neither)

Even if a replacement isn't nominated and confirmed, it's now a 4-4 tie if Roberts votes with the leftist wing of SCOTUS.

If that happens, it's a deadlock and the Circuit Court ruling will stand. Given how many positions have been filled by Trump in the past 3+ years, Republicans are in a much better position.

Spez, on further thought: I think this may strengthen the conservative wing of SCOTUS, because Roberts won't want a deadlock on a critical decision. He'll find some way to join the conservatives, especially if he doesn't like the Circuit Court's ruling.

the problem for Roberts is a name matching his appearing in Jeffery Epstein flight logs

which if it's one and the same, then they have black mail on him, but then too the white hats may also (and perhaps use it to cast Roberts as compromised when the occasion warrants)

if SCOTUS Roberts is the same individual and we're able to get to the point of holding the elite accountable (criminally) for their pedophilia

And now that there is only 8 votes, would Roberts dare give us a HANGING TIE? That would make the Lower Courts ruling abide. I think he would have to go with the conservatives to make it 5-3, we can't have a 4-4 tie in the SCOTUS with so much on the line.

Read my post below about the Political Advantage this gives to the Republicans.

Inauguration will be on Jan 20. There is absolutely no way to push it back or forward.

On Jan 20 the Speaker of the House will become Acting President if neither Trump nor Biden are properly confirmed.

There is NOTHING stopping the Republicans from confirming a new justice either before Nov 3 or Jan 20, except their own idiocy - specifically Mitch's refusal to do so OR 3+ GOP Senators voting against.

Inauguration can’t be pushed back. It’s in the constitution. Pelosi could become interim President if votes aren’t done being counted by Jan 20.

She would also need to win her election.
