GOP Senate would refuse to fill Supreme Court vacancies in second Biden term: insider
By Social Links for Jon Levine

Republicans in the Senate would refuse to fill Supreme Court vacancies should they retake the chamber in a second term for President Biden, Senate GOP insiders told The Post.
The move — a reprisal of the party’s stonewalling tactics after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016 — would allow the GOP to prevent Democrats from expanding their bloc on the high court for years and limit their own future losses.
The issue has returned to the fore once again as Democrats fret about the health of Justice Sonia Sotomayor during a contentious election year.
“I think Republicans would be prepared to stonewall any Biden Supreme Court nominee that was unacceptable to the Republican conference” a senior GOP aide close to Senate leadership told The Post.

I call b.s. on this.
They wouldn't have the collective nerve to do so.
