If his condition comes out before the 3rd, it will be a fascinating Supreme Court case. Can someone who is functionally brain dead on life support hold public office?
My money is on 6-3 Yes-as long as they have an R next to their name. But "reviewing the case" until after the 3rd is is a strong contender.

I hope Mitch McConnell has a painful, lonely death.

I hope they keep him barely alive, trapped in his own body.

Hurry up and get to the next already. There's a whole lot to get through and precious little time, people.

I suppose it's fitting. He was a bowel obstruction in life. Why would his death be different.

Entire country owned and run by haunted skeletons.

But really, how could tell if he’s actually dead or looking like he’s look for the past 10 years? Throw him down the reactor pit already.

I dare say he passed the "dead" line a few days ago
