#1 Seems like something they would do

#2 And all because RBG believed the hype that Hillary was a shoe-in.

#3 I agree. Trump will be impeached at some point in the next couple years by the house. Pelosi is waiting for maximum impact of the event and I also think that RBG kicking the bucket will kick off the impeachment circus.

#4 It will start the civil war. Impeach maybe, but if they vote to remove from office, the clouds of war will come...

#5 House impeaches, Senate convicts. Can't rule out Collins and a couple others going to the other side, but it's unlikely. Can't rule out 1-2 dems in the Senate voting "no" either. So it ain't happening (prolly) Aftermath will be quite different from what came after Billy Jeff dodged. The future of the Clinton Crime Cabal was at stake then. Nothing like that this time...

#6 Clinton impeachment sent him soaring in the polls.

I'm pretty sure Trump could turn impeachment into re-election and a massive majority in the House.

#7 The Senate tries, and it requires a 2/3rd supermajority to convict. No way that many Republican senators side with the Democrats, not even if Mitt Romney makes noises.

#8 Only requires 2/3rd of the states to call for a national convention. Given the choice to be ruled by 10 metropolitan areas or live free of your own choosing, some people are making a good case for the latter.

#9 Only requires 2/3rd of the states to call for a national convention. Those results could well be worse than civil war. Best not go there.

#10 For all practical purposes RBG has left SCOTUS. She is not a functioning member.
