I predict the Dems will argue that since Trump is under investigation for impeachment he should not be able to put forward another SC nominee until impeachment investigation/proceedings have concluded. Then they’ll slow walk proceedings for two years.
They dont have any overly effective tools available to delay it. It will be 3-4 months from nomination to confirmation no matter what. Youve already heard rumblings of the fall back position: if they can recover the presidency and the senate theyre going to try to pack the court
“I predict the Dems will argue that since Trump is under investigation for impeachment he should not be able to put forward another SC nominee until impeachment investigation/proceedings have concluded.”
Huh? Investigation for impeachment? Who did Trump impeach?
It would be a bold move to claim Trump can't make a nomination while under investigation to replace a Justice who was nominated by a President under investigation.
