The GOP's main plan is to stack the courts in such a way that ONLY right wing decisions will be made. It is a way of guaranteeing that nothing other than right wing policies can move along in the US for decades. It will be a nullification court that strips the country of civil rights, labor rights, environmental laws, women's reproductive rights, and ANYTHING even remotely considered progressive.
It is a way of making blatantly unconstitutional laws constitutional and valid. And it is way to guarantee GOP iron fist rule even when they do NOT hold majority power. It is a way to created stalemated covering forever.
