Considering how this doesn’t change the makeup on the court, it would behoove mcconnell to wait. If they do ram a nomination through, I think it would embolden a Democratic administration to add justices or something along those lines.100% they try and rush one through.
100% chance there is violence related to it.
100% chance they'll fail.
100% chance this results in practically open warfare on the floor of the Senate.
100% chance of mass hypocrisy and a ramping up of insane rhetoric from "leaders" in both parties.
Problem is, Trump will demand a fight and thus throw this into chaos.
