between the announcement of her death and McConnell's anouncement.

That matches the Hill timeline: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/517178-mcconnell-says-trump-nominee-to-replace-ginsburg-will-get-senate-vote

McConnell may have to eat his own words, since he was the one that set the precedent. I hope the Dems in the Senate give him hell.

weeks, or months. They knew she was terminally ill (recall the recent oh so not coincidental list of potential court nominees), and they couldn’t wait to jump on her corpse within minutes. And on Rosh Hashanah, to top it off.

Note that Jewish tradition maintains that a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah is a tzaddik, a person of great righteousness. Obviously, some others do not fit that description. “Who shall be exalted and who shall be brought low?” You be the judge.
