‘For the 87 year old justice to die barely six weeks before the election is an American tragedy for liberals and a historic opportunity for conservatives.’

‘Donald Trump’s Republicans and Joe Biden’s Democrats are instantly at war over whether Ginsburg should be replaced before the election.’

‘There are two key questions here. The first is whether a conservative replacement for Ginsburg will happen before the election. The second is what impact her death will have on the election campaign.’
