It should not even be a question. The vote MUST place before.

Hearings are a waste of time and taxpayer money. Just vote for crying out loud. All RATs will vote NO and GOPee will have enough YES votes to approve. Results still the same.

Yup. There is always the chance that Trump will lose and I think nearly everyone will suddenly decide that the lame duck president should not be the one to put someone on the bench — the people have spoken, right?

But the current elected president and the current elected senate have every right — they have a constitutional duty — to put someone on the bench right now. Getting this done before the election is a no brainer. Absolutely no reason not to.

THIS!

We can’t have a contested election ending up in a 4-4 court.
