Didn't Mitch McConnell refuse to countenance an Obama appointee close to the election, as it would be inappropriate?
The idea that the GOP have more principles than the DEMs is very amusing and everything, but guys, nobody important cares what we write - a little honesty is in order here.

In theory. The senate might have to change their rules.
He has to nominate and the senate has to approve. I think it's only Senate rules that would prevent that from happening in rapid succession. And the Senate is GOP controlled.
