Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dies at 87

WASHINGTON Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday of complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, the Supreme Court announced....
Democrats say this is hairsplitting hypocrisy that damages the legitimacy of the court. But they may have little practical power to stop a third Trump nominee after changes in Senate rules on filibusters on nominations. All it takes now is a majority vote to confirm judicial nominees.....
During the Obama administration, some liberals urged Justice Ginsburg to step down so that President Barack Obama could name her successor. She rejected the advice.
She was critical of Mr. Trump during the 2016 campaign, and he responded that her mind is shot and said she should resign. She later said she had made a mistake in publicly commenting on a candidate and promised to be more circumspect in the future.

What would the Dems do if the tables were reversed? Go for the Gold! There's no question what they would do.
Even Schumer agrees!

What would the Dems do if the tables were reversed? They tried to spy on him, they tried to investigate him, they tried to impeach him, they lied about him, they lied about his previous pick to the Supreme Court ...
If the tables were reversed ... they would find the most liberal activist judge and ram her down our throat without hesitation.
I for one will be disappointed if Mitch is not at the White House this weekend ... and the pick does not come by Tuesday or Wednesday.

How does that work? Is a majority of Senators voting all that is required or does it take a majority of the full 100 Senators?

There are 51 Republicans and 49 Dems/Independents, what if 2 Rinos abstained?
Then the vote could be:
50 R’s (VP Vote)
49 D’s
2 Abstains
That would constitute a simple majority IMHO.

Since all it takes is a majority the RINOs that say they will not approve a Trump nominee should abstain instead of voting against.You're thinking of "plurality" - for getting a majority, an abstention is as bad as a nay.
