There is insufficient time to get this done. Plus, Sotomayor can ignore them without issues. The Constitution says that she has lifetime tenure. But this article legitimately does raise the likelihood that Trump will have 2 or 3 more picks for the Supreme Court. May he use those picks wisely, to solidify a conservative Court for the next 20 years.

He needs to do better than Amey Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh. They’re pikers compared to Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Trump has a mandate and 53 senators on his side. He doesn’t need to compromise with the likes of Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins in order to get his judges confirmed. I hope he nominates the most hard-right constitutional judges available.
You're right - not enough time. Also we need to patch the hole that would allow democrats to expand and pack the courts if they EVER take control back
