There is no reasonable way to appoint a new Justice before the election, and no reason to rush this. On the other hand, leaving a post empty for a year just to get a Republican justice does seem dishonest.
LOL. The left that said that months before an election is good enough will now say that it isn't...
My bet, they'll use this to refocus the election on something that actually matters rather than scary boogeymen from Russia who write editorials and pay for ads.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
