that rule is NOT a rule, but a historically rare event.
it does NOT apply when the Senate majority and the president are in the SAME party... only when they are NOT in the same party...
Trump can nominate right up to the line, and the Senate could confirm and with only 51 or a simple majority vote...
won’t happen however.
she will leave one way or the other in the very very near future... and the president will put up the next one on the roster... the catholic lady.
And she will be confirmed... probably by next year sometime.
my best guess of course... no guarantee for the future.. just very very high probability... of over eighty percent is my best estimate.

MIA_ecc11212, I don’t think a lot of people caught the part of the President and the Senate being Opposite Parties during that timeframe. LOL Details...it’s all in the details.
