>Gov. Tom Wolf will now be tasked with appointing a new justice to fill the vacancy on the court, following an application process and approval by the state Senate. However, the state Senate has seven remaining session days scheduled for the remainder of 2022 – and only one in November – meaning it’s likely that the next governor of Pennsylvania will choose who fills the vacancy.

But that will only be a temporary appointment. The seat will be up for direct election in November 2023.

Oh, dope. Well, in that case

VOTE! (twice, once now to secure the interim justice and then later for a permanent justice who isn't a conservative terrorist)
