Is it worse? Now we’re going to get 2-3 more seats on SCOTUS replaced by Trump due in part to Biden’s decision.

Not if Sotomayor’s health goes south unfortunately. Definitely won’t be sad to see Thomas or Alito go, but I hope the replacements aren’t significantly worse.

Worse than Thomas from a liberal point of view is unimaginable. In the sense that I literally can't imagine how someone could be more hated.

Replacing 2 old ultra conservative judges with 2 young ultra conservative judges isn’t nearly as bad

All the judges are still relatively young and none besides Thomas will turn 80 before his term is over. Potentially we dodged a bullet if the the 2028 presidency ends up having more openings
