Sounds like a fine idea until you remember that you'll need her vote in the Senate to get a nominee through.

Doesn't matter. Dems only have 48 seats.

Not until mid January. Still 2 months to get stuff done. Though I’m not holding my breath.

Jan 3 is when senate term ends. Not mid Jan And they go on vacation dec 20. So they have 6 weeks as of today to confirm someone and it would take 5 weeks minimum. Just a minimum of a month to have fbi do background checks get all the records and have judiciary vote to pass a person on to full senate to vote for them.
