    Yes - with filibusters and blue slips gone and a Senate majority, Republicans can’t be “Garlanded.” (Also Dems can’t flee D.C. to deny quorum, just 51 votes needed.) #SCOTUS #AppellateTwitterhttps://twitter.com/zone_left/status/1012063144858902529 …

    Do you think a new Justice gets confirmed before the election?

        Not sure if McCain can travel, but if not, can his absence create a quorum problem?

        Good question (also posed by @hurricaneaiken); I’m not sure.

        So apparently McCain's absence WOULD create a quorum problem (see Const. Art. I § 5 - VP not a "Member[]") - but in that case, McCain could step down & @DougDucey, Republican governor of Arizona, could appoint a successor who'd vote.http://bit.ly/2IPRFcJ

        Any chance that this administration screws up their vetting and nominates a Souter?

        Crazy political calculus involved here. Dems might *want* confirmation before election so it doesn't motivate the GOP base.

        Mitch McConnell did warn Democrats about ending judicial filibuster and he's making good on that warning. Unfortunately Democrats don't seem to have learned their lesson. There is talk of Court Packing. What would stop Republicans from packing the court when they take back power.

        McCain isn’t in DC so the GOP only has 50 correct? Or would Pence count?

        So Dems need GOP to side with them right?
