Oh shit. Both Trump and Sessions in one swoop? That that's one hell of a thing!
The only thing I'd be worried about would be Mike Pence taking the reigns. I have no idea who he'd install in Session's place on the Supreme Court.
For that reason I hope that somehow Pence winds up getting linked in the Russia Probe scandal. But then that leaves Orrin Hatch and Paul Ryan, in that order, as the next successors.
Now I hope the Republicans drag their feet. Because if they do... Whoooooo, they're gonna have hell to pay.
(Think about it... if they wait until midterms to impeach and the House and Senate both swing Blue, then that means Democrat President Pro Tempur in the Senate and a Democrat Speaker of the House... Impeach Trump, Pence, and Sessions then? We get Democrats in the Whitehouse again, with an open slot in the Supreme Court to fill, and the Democrats will be in charge of the Legislative branch... Hell of an upset for the Republicans.)
BA, you know the GOP sees Trump as a once in a lifetime opportunity to pass their agenda, whether the general public likes it or not. Look at McConnell and Ryan. They've been defending Trump since Day 1 of his administration. They're probably thinking there's still time after till the mid-term to turn the narrative around. Seeing the angry constituents in town hall meetings, I doubt it. Your locals might not care about Russian meddling, but they do care about their health benefits being yanked.
