The best chance of having a Justice Canon would have been prior to now. If the control of the Senate flips, I hope that any position on SCOTUS that might open up would be denied based on POTUS being a lame duck following the precedent set by Mitch.

I don't think anyone still believes that that McConnell was acting in good faith there. If we don't get a December appointment then we're in for a long standoff.

Considering Trump's appointees haven't been as loyal as Thomas and Alito, I can only see him nominating absolute simps. He's going to need the pre-emptive self-pardon to hold up after all.
