Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburgs recent health problems have revealed a rift among Senate Republicans over what to do if a Supreme Court seat becomes vacant before the end of President Trumps first term.
While Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) has indicated his intent to fill any Supreme Court vacancies in 2020, other Republicans are more hesitant.
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), expressed concern that confirming a Trump nominee before the end of the presidents term would create a double standard after Republicans in 2016 declined to appoint then-President Obamas nominee Merrick Garland to fill the seat vacated by conservative justice Antonin Scalias death.

Only play by the rules with both sides abide.
Why? Trump's not a lame duck.
Betcha lunch IF it were one of the four conservatives who died before the election, the demoncrats would move Heaven and earth to get a Supreme appointed.
She’s a creep.
Merrick Garland is like the liberals love that got away...kinda like Rosebud...
She’s dead.
Bush League Republicans MUST be replaced.
Neither was Bush, Senior. That's when the "Biden Rule" started.
So what lowlife? The dems are filled with double standards.
And THATs what it was all about.
Not at all a double standard.
See, we’re supposed to feel bad about controlling the Senate in 2016 and blocking Obama’s pick just as a Democrat controlled Senate would 100% do this year if Ginsburg died, even if the Scalia vacancy never happened.
“..Shes dead...”
Who? Murkowski? Or Lil’Ruthie? Or both?
Yup.
RBG.
Apples to oranges, Sen Mur-cowpile.
foul feinstein has something on miserable murkowski.
I dont care what a socialist elitist douchebag thinks.
Good intel.
We now know what her masters in the DNC are telling her to do.

Murkowski is clearly not very bright. Shes incapable of understanding such subtleties.
