Are they afraid of having any remaining liberal-leaning justices?

Trump is already likely to get two more justices. Thomas and Alito could (will?) retire. And if that happens - Trump could appoint people in their 30s. Why wouldn't he do that? I guess the dems want to work as hard as they can so the court is in firm GOP control for decades.

instead of 6-3 you can get 7-2

Baby, we're looking at 9-0 by 2028 at the rate we're going.
