8. Whatever they can do they should do

If it happens the seat isnt filled by next year (which I find unlikely) they should pull a mcconnell and block it till a democrat is president.


Another (unlikely) possibility could be adding seats early and getting trump to appoint liberals with a bit of dealmaking.

I think the best course will be adding seats to the court under the next true dem trifecta. But adding seats with a healthy dem majority and a republican president could see some positive consequences since Trump would likely still want to appoint somebody but will be confined by the approval of the Democratic led Senate? Not gonna lie though: i can see that going wrong in more ways than it probably should.
