    How long should it take to confirm Kavanaugh? According to the WSJ, "Ruth Bader Ginsburg took 42 days, Sonia Sotomayor 66 and Elena Kagan 87. The average wait for those three Democratic nominees was 65 days. Neil Gorsuch took 66 days to confirm last year."https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-senate-deadline-for-kavanaugh-1531265850?mod=hp_opin_pos1#comments_sector …

        293 days. Convenient of you to 'forget' #MerrickGarland.

        Isn't the Merrick Garland nomination still open? That means it's been 847 days. (3/16/2016 - 7/11/2018)

        Maybe the same amount of time it took for Garland to get a hearing...oh wait.

        The gop thought having 6 scotus justices for over a year was fine, would have gone 4 more years if Hillary had won. No need to rush it before midterms.

        We really shouldn't confirm a scotus pick in an election year. We should really let the voters decide.

        It should take as long as Merrick Garland. And we should let voters decide. And honestly a president under investigation and with the added hint of collusion with Kennedy should get no picks. None. Until all investigations are resolved.

        Trump placates the gop with judges and a tax break just enough to keep them in line; meanwhile he abuses his power, weakens our alliances & emboldens our enemies.

        Your premise is flawed: those appointments were made WITH filibuster, pre-McConnell Rule/Gorsuch. The procedural balance needs to be restored.

        My guess is that McConnell will aim for a floor vote no later than mid-September so Kavanaugh will have time to gear up for the new term that begins on October 1st.
