    I agree. Romney's a definite "no," and Collins, currently trailing in ME, is probably a "no" as well.

    Alexander? I dunno.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      My condolences to all who knew and loved her honor, the notorious RBG.

        The question is not what the GOP will do. That’s a given. It is whether the Dems can block it.

        I just hope they give her enough respect to wait until she’s at least in the ground to announce.

          Collins says. "No."

          Grassley says, "No."

          Murkowski (as commented above) says, "No."

            It’s done.

            Now it’s a turnout issue.

            Maybe helps Dems more? Just thinking out loud. The folks on the right that really care already vote in high numbers.

            On the left you have young people who don’t vote in droves. At least it seems turnout potential is higher? Again that’s just my intuition.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              From the NPR piece.

              "Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: 'My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.'"

              A good reminder to us all that there was plenty of time for that.

                  Murkowsky already said she’s not voting lame duck.

                  All you need is Collins, Romney, and Alexander and there goes your majority.

                  Or maybe others. But all you need is 4 and one is already declared.

                  We already know that most democrats think there is no such thing.

                            Good luck with that.

                            The schedule is tight, at best. The best Mitch could hope for is a vote after the election, and before the new Senate is seated in early January. I have little doubt that Trump will nominate someone, though.

                              Would it be impolite to nominate someone before the funeral?

                              Yes? OK, the funeral will be in February.

                                    Btw has anyone seen Betty White? 2020 has plenty of time left. We should bubble wrap her ASAP.
