As soon as the Senate recesses, name a recess appointment.
How about Amy Barrett...?
We have three-and-a-half months until the next Senate is sworn in.
I see no reason why a replacement couldn't be voted on by then.
If "the tables were turned the other way", you know the democrat-communists would do it.
Addendum:
Mr. Trump ought to be puttin' in that call to Ms. Barrett tonight.
Pack your bags and come see me as soon as you can get here.
Don't call tomorrow ... call TONIGHT.
Next call to Mr. McConnell: if you know what's good for you, get this done.
I predict that a time-is-of-the-essence performance by the Republican Senate on this will HELP the chances of all the incumbent senators, and might even give a boost to Republican Senate candidates, as well.
