I would rather he waited until Ginsberg was replaced. While we theoretically have a 5-4 conservative advantage, I don’t trust Roberts.
With very good reason!
Ginsberg will be rolled in on a hospital bed on life support as long as President Trump is in office. Granted, the Supremes are unpredictable, but this might be the best shot. I'm not convinced that the DC Sewer won't corrupt the two new judges, like it does everyone else. Anything President Trump waits on just gives his enemies time to gin up their storm troopers, especially ANTIFA for this one.
Waiting and announcing ahead of time hardly ever works out well. Can we really be sure it would in this case?
Gorsuch and Kavanagh both understand what “within the jurisdiction” means. This DO gets the challenge going without having to get the COM to do the paperwork. The left will immediately run to court and an activist judge will issue an injunction and then we will be on the way to SCOTUS.
This action may be enough to push RBG into room temperature conditions.
I think this issue is another reason why the Dems were so nasty to Kavanaugh.
