What could happen at the Supreme Court under Harris and Trump
October 30, 2024 NPR
The upcoming election, less than a week away, could reshape the U.S. Supreme Court — or not, depending on retirements, deaths, or other unforeseen events.
The only certainty is political struggle.
Depending on who wins the presidential election, and control of the Senate, the current 6-to-3 conservative supermajority could remain the same, be trimmed to 5-to-4, or expand to an even larger and more lopsided conservative majority.
The public, for the most part, understands that if there is a Supreme Court vacancy, the president’s nominee will generally reflect the president’s views.
But, there is a genuine possibility that if the Senate is controlled by the opposition party, the open seat will remain unfilled —not for months, but for years.
Indeed, there is also a real possibility that lower court seats will go unfilled, unless there is significant backroom horse-trading.
In short, with power split between the White House and the Senate, there could be unprecedented gridlock on judicial nominations that extends all the way up to the Supreme Court and down to the appellate and even district courts.

Ready, steady, go, E, 2.9.2004,
The west prides itself on its open democratic society, but if openness and democracy are what we value, then we need to export those values to countries that desperately need them. We will supply arms to anybody. Where is our support for those men and women who are trying to modernise their countries - to bring books and education and emancipation to people who live in fear of being flogged or killed? The truth is that we would rather sell arms and trade oil and cheap goods with the bosses than help the ordinary people who need us. I'm not talking charity. I mean a whole new approach to how we deal with the third world. We could start by not exploiting them. We could give up the myth that the west is the good guy. We could refuse foreign policy deliberately aimed at manipulating other countries for our own ends. We could learn to forgive. That might mean learning to say our prayers... You need not believe in God to believe in prayer. Which of us should not ask for forgiveness? Which of us should not ask for the strength to forgive others?
