      McConnell says a vote will happen...

        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.

            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.

                                  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.

                                    I know there will be a lot of chatter about RBG and who will replace.

                                    But I thought it interesting what antonin Scalias son posted on twitter on what his dad felt about RBG

                                    There was a time when liberals and conservatives could not only respect one another, they could actually care for them deeply.

                                    Where did those days go??

                                      Indeed. I would have hoped we could at least hold off on the politics and vitriol until she was in the ground.

                                        I never met Scalia, but he used to duck hunt about twenty miles from where I live. The guys that guided or worked around him, said he was a first class individual.
