Analysis: The string of conservative victories shows why Senate Republican Leader McConnell used unusual and aggressive tactics to assemble the court's 6 to 3 majority.
regardless of the courts, a case that some experts say could radically reshape American elections.
“And then Justice Ginsburg passed away. A couple of months — actually six weeks before the 2020 election, we were able to replace her,” McConnell told constituents this week. The recent rulings have been jarring even to liberal institutionalists. Biden, who opposes Supreme Court expansion, labeled the abortion ruling decision"destabilizing" and called for a filibuster exception to codify the right to end a pregnancy. Justice Elena Kagan, in her EPA dissent, said she was wrong to concede years ago that the court's conservatives cared about the judicial philosophy of textualism.
McConnell's gambit in 2016 paid off when Republicans won the White House and held control of the Senate. Scalia's seat was filled by President Donald Trump’s nominee, Neil Gorsuch. In 2018, after the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, a longtime swing justice with idiosyncratic views, Republicans replaced him with Brett Kavanaugh, who was seen as a down-the-line conservative.
