You’re getting downvoted because Lemmy, but that’s more or less how I read the ruling as well. They ruled very specifically in a way that let them punt on all the other questions these trials have created.
I’d hoped for better, but not realistically.
Just have one officially killed.
Then signal to the rest that you’d like them to review this latest decision while you’re deciding on your nominee to fill the vacancy.
And literally hours after McConnell says it’s too close to an election to have a confirmation, have him killed too.
Then ask his replacement (Cornyn? Graham? Hawley?) to pretty please hold a confirmation vote before your special ops team has a chance to get a few hours of sleep and a hot meal and they’re ready to roll again.
