In 2016 Merrick Garland fight, McConnell did not say, “I’ve got the votes, so No.” He felt the need to devise *justifications.* He cannot have cared himself, but he felt he needed them, to create at least a veneer of legitimacy. Post-election 2020, he won’t have that. So if McConnell cannot confirm immediately, he soon bumps into serious trouble. Not enough trouble maybe to deter him personally. But other senators could flinch- and so by the way could the nominee, who may not wish to enter judicial history in this disturbing mode.
Now my bet is that
My bet is that Moscow Mitch is gonna try to rush this process, & slam a new justice into SCOTUS before the election. So they can pull a Bush v. Gore, stop vote counts, and rat#^&#^&#^&#^& the election.
