| It was a big week for America's political scientists. In a particularly polarizing few days for the Donald Trump administration, the president vowed to fill the seat left empty by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death before Election Day. (Yesterday, Trump named his Supreme Court nominee: Amy Coney Barrett.) Then he told a reporter he would not commit to a peaceful transfer of power after said election. His moves have left observers on both sides of the aisle warning that democracy really is in danger. We have less than six weeks to go before Nov. 3, with presidential debates, nonstop polling and endless handwringing ahead of what will no doubt be a history-making vote for the American republic.
