    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.'"

    Let me repeat

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

      Gonna be a helluva election issue.

        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.

          Is this true about "The McConnell Rule?"

          "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

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

                  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.

                      Seen on twitter:

                      Knowing 2020, we’ll have a 269-269 EC split decided by a 4-4 SCOTUS.

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

                                    I saw something similar. However, given the fact that one of the liberal justices has passed away, the current leaning of the court is probably more like 5 to 3 rather than 4 to 4.

                                      Sen John Thune, 2016. "Since the next presidential election is already underway, the next president should make this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court."
