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.

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.

These are my standards, and if you don’t like them, I have others.

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, 2020: “President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the U.S. Senate.”
Sen John Thune, 2016. "Since the next presidential election is already underway, the next president should make this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court."

Yeah, all the excuses in 2016 were ill conceived and regrettable. They should have just said “we have the power to block any appointment and we are going to use that power in the interest of those voters that elected us.”Today they should say”we have the power to appoint a nominee and we are going to use that power in the interest of those voters that elected us.”
Senate elections have consequences.
