Yeah, the RBG  suppression is all about the SCOTUS situation. Which is why they went for such a risky tactic as the "Designated Survivor" gambit. When SCOTUS shifts right, they're done. And they can't pull another Scalia-style hit job without triggering the surviving judges, and turning them all into enemies. Trump chess'd them pretty hard here. And this is why it's very probable some WW3 trigger will be attempted next, and soon. Hopefully he has some killer play ready for that too.
