Agreed, but honor, truth and justice are in much shorter supply these days than in the past. Trump didn't cause it, he's the result of that lack of supply. Honorable Republicans would have stood against his repeated lies and attacks on the military. They didn't. Due to that fact, I doubt they'll stop an appointment as Trump's last big "Fuck You" to the American public.

You think Senate could do a 42 day confirmation with an election in the middle? You are not including the time to nominate Ginsburg.
In other words, it just is not possible. No one could start until December, so while it would be possible by late January, the only reason to even try would be if trump loses. That will make the Republicans look very bad.
