Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died at the age of 87 on Friday night, after 27 years on America’s highest court.

Ginsburg had recently announced she was undergoing treatment for yet another cancer diagnosis, but had steadfastly refused to retire or step away from her duties.

Ginsburg’s death raises the stakes of the 2020 election even higher than before, which was immediately clear to all parties in American politics:

As the intellectual leader of the Court’s left wing, Ginsburg’s death has massive implications for the Court’s ideological makeup. If President Trump can replace Ginsburg with a conservative justice, it could change the course of American constitutional jurisprudence for decades to come, especially since Chief Justice John Roberts is increasingly siding with the Court’s liberals.

Conservatives will without a doubt pressure President Trump, and Senate Republicans, to confirm a new justice before the end of Trump’s first term. Ginsburg’s death, meanwhile, will dramatically increase pressure on the left to pack the court with new justices.

As if the stakes of the 2020 election weren’t high enough, they just got an order of magnitude higher.
