I think it's a given that Trump will nominate a replacement and that the Senate will approve him/her. That said, I believe that politics may be a key variable in the timing. I'm not sure what is best for Republican wins in the election. The riots are bad for Democrats, and although Pelosi and her puppet Sleepy Joe have finally said "riots are bad," I can't wait to see what they say about the inevitable riots regarding the President and Senate fulfilling their constitutional duties. Will they criticize the lunatics when they start fires outside of the Supreme Court? Maybe outside of Congress? What will the idiot DC mayor have to say when political riots start getting the media coverage instead of her precious BLM "peaceful protests?" CNN may need to open up a whole new network. This is like a Hollywood Soap opera, except with a much more interesting plot. Thank God I live in a conservative state. On the flip side: 1. Dems have no enthusiasm to vote for Biden now 2. If we wait this will be a rally point to get Dems out to vote for Scotus 3. Its possible Senate can’t get Senate open after election to vote for various reasons. No matter what we do the left will reeee. But if we do it before then they can’t use open seat as a rally point Yeah, I think time is of the essence. If I were king, I would likely just nominate somebody on Monday (we know that Trump has already published his short list and likely knows exactly who it will be right now) and tell Mitch to get it done in two weeks. With the 2017 elimination of the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees, the hearings are likely just a show at this point. Let a few dems spew their hatred and show their true colors, close discussions and take the vote.

Mitch and family I would hope are not going to be living in their normal residence.

I would give it a few days so that the idiot rioters have to waste time replacing their BLM signs with RBG signs. Might keep them off the street for an hour or two. What happens when we have BLM competing for air time with RBG?

We seem to be building the case for calculated, carefully timed hearings. We'll give the dems the rope and they'll, well, you know....
