“We have plenty of time.”

No we don't. We have to get a new Justice by or right after November 3.
The quicker the nomination, the better the faster they can be conformed. Why wait till Friday? Trump should have been prepared to replace e RBG long ago. Everyone knew she was going to pass at any time t.

Why Friday or Saturday??

It's just more days wasted! Do it on Tuesday!

On November 28, 1975, President Gerald Ford made his only Supreme Court nomination when he selected federal judge John Paul Stevens to the nation’s highest court.

When the Senate considered John Paul Stevens’s 1975 nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, he didn’t get a single question about the Roe v. Wade abortion-rights decision issued less than three years earlier.

And even though Stevens was replacing a polarizing justice appointed by a president from the opposite party, his nomination sailed through the Senate, which confirmed him 98-0 only 19 days after his selection by Republican President Gerald Ford.

We have to get a new Justice by or right after November 3.

38 days is twice as long as 19.

Trump should have been prepared to replace e RBG long ago.

He's very prepared. He already had a list four years ago and he recently updated that list. President Trump had already decided that he was going to replace RBG with a woman and there are 11 women on his list. Over the weekend, he has already chosen five finalists from his list and it makes sense for him to take five days to thoroughly interview each one of them.
