So Trump may as well pick the replacement now.
Creepy ol’ Quid Pro Child Molesting Joe...
...obviously hasn’t read the US Constitution.
Trump is President.
There is a vacancy.
Trump fills the vacancy.

Of course, that would take Republicans with spines.
Joe, Joe, Joe. Let’s not be politicizing this so quickly. After all, you haven’t yet come up with your OWN list of potential nominees to fill RBG’s seat.
Quick, get Hillary’s name up on the list. But run it by your running mate first.
“Ginsburg’s replacement should be chosen by election victor”
That would be Donald Trump. You are the victor and president until the day you leave office. Your term doesn’t “end” because it is approaching. It’s always approaching.
Confirmation may be the problem.

Agreed.
RGB spent the last few years knocking on heavens door, no secret. President Trump has released his list of nominees, no secret.
Everyone should have grieved already and been ready for this day.
Time to vote on the new SCOTUS judge
As for Scalia, that death was unexpected, sudden, with murky circumstances. That death warranted delay.
