Would there not be a special election to fill the seat? Temporarily appointed by the Governor until election.

The seat is one thing. Membership on the Judiciary Committee, and a vote thereon, are another. Repugs can block the new person from the latter.

The president wouldn't get one more judge out of that committee if DiFi resigns. It takes 60 votes to confirm her replacement on the Judiciary committee and we all know how McConnell would act.

The misogyny and ageism squirting out of Ro and company won't be soon forgotten. I've got a couple rolls of blue masking tape they can shove where the sun don't shine.
