with another one, but younger.

We will have two options if it happens. The first is to hope that it doesn't happen until after the midterms when we have the votes to turn down extremist, lying judges.

The second is to expand the number of judges when we finally get back in power. And seriously, I hope it doesn't come to that, though it does make sense mathematically.
