From what I have heard, the likely nominee is Amy Coney-Barrett.
Though as I have noted a few times, I'd like to see Miguel Estrada nominated.
The Communists will smear him with sexual accusations. It's harder for the Khmer Rouge to go after a woman.
Whatever. She's dead and Trump gets another pick.MAGA!!! Oh, and RIP.

McConnell: Trump's Supreme Court nominee 'will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate'
Senate Republicans have signaled that they would likely fill a vacancy to the Supreme Court ahead of the presidential election, but it is unclear whether the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will change their stance.www.foxnews.com
This is going to start a whole new round of crazy!
Jo
Can Trump improve his chances by immediately electing a female judge? There was a Constitutional Christian who was a choice right he was struggling with before he chose Kavanaugh, right? Whether they to go a vote now or later, it helps Trump. It may help Trump even MORE if he says "wait until after the election"?
What does this do to the influence of the weak Never Trumpers? I've listened to you all for 4 years, and it's clear GOP voters don't want MORE people making up the law as they go, so, this will ensure a wave of support.
I think Trump is ballsy enough to force the vote now, he isn't a politician, he doesn't care if they dislike him or not.
Trump will git r done!
Besides, McConnell can be a cagey parliamentarian when he chooses too!!

Let’s not forget Mitch BLOCKED the senate from even having a vote on Garland even though it was blatantly unconstitutional. I’m sure republicans are thrilled at Ginsburg’s passing. Them winning is all that matters to them.You go, Mitch!
No reason to not replace her now.
McConnell: Trump's Supreme Court nominee 'will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate'
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said unequivocally Friday night that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to fill the vacancy of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
Ginsburg, 87, died Friday from complications surrounding metastatic pancreas cancer.
“The Senate and the nation mourn the sudden passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life,” McConnell said in a statement Friday.
“In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise,” McConnell continued. “Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year.”
McConnell added that “by contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary.”
“Once again, we will keep our promise,” he said. “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG DIES AT 87
In May 2019, McConnell, R-Ky., made clear that should a vacancy materialize in the midst of the 2020 election cycle, the GOP-majority Senate would likely “fill it.”
McConnell’s comments last year were met with criticism from Democrats who accused him of hypocrisy, based on the treatment of former President Barack Obamas Supreme Court nominee and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals chief Judge Merrick Garland.McConnell: Trump's Supreme Court nominee 'will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate'
Senate Republicans have signaled that they would likely fill a vacancy to the Supreme Court ahead of the presidential election, but it is unclear whether the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will change their stance.
Obama nominated Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in 2016, but McConnell and Senate Republicans refused to hold a hearing or vote on his nomination, citing the imminent 2016 presidential election.
Speaking to Fox News last year, McConnell suggested his stance was not hypocritical -- because in 2020, Republicans would control both the White House and the Senate, unlike Democrats in 2016, who controlled only the White House.
Oh and also don’t forget Mitch’s blatant hypocrisy about election years and voting on judges. He’s a sociopath without any principles.
You are an idiot.....it was perfectly constitutional, you moron....the Constitution does not say the Senate is a rubber stamp for Presidential nominees...it says advice and consent....they have the power to deny the nominee if they want....that is how the founders separated powers to diminish the acquisition of power by any one branch....you doofus.

So theoretically, the Senate could never appoint another justice or judge...ever in your world right?
There is a difference between denying a nominee--voting them down---and not having a vote at all.

Yep........that is how it was designed, it was a check on Presidential and Court power.......there is no difference....the Senate was given that power for a reason.

Why would who controls the Senate, have anything to do with it....it's the President who picks the nominee, not the Senate."The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice.

The Senate, advises and consents or not, of the President's pick.... Repub or democratic majority Senate.
