Trump and the GOP can still do a lot of damage over the next few months before the new House and Senate members are sworn in on January 3 2027. For example:
- A major attack on Iran may happen soon. In fact, it may be inevitable and it might even be a war crime.
- How about the possibility of one or more Supreme Court justices deciding to suddenly retire, thus allowing Trump to name one or more justices before the new Congress is sworn in? Three Republican-nominated justices are over 70 years old, with cranky Justice Clarence Thomas (78) the oldest.
January 3 2027 can't come fast enough...
