1. Schumer and Biden have both publicly said they will do it

If the nomination is moved forward.right?

[FBaggins]

4. I hope not

Durbin’s political sense is probably solid here.

It doesn’t help in an election to give your opponents that much ammunition

6. maybe, but they are keeping it quiet until after the election

[ancianita]

7. +1

2. Why motivate the other side at this time?

This can be discussed after the election.

3. Schumer said nothing is off the table next year if they push forward with this nomination

Jerry Naddler said we needed to increase the number of justices just today, so did Markey. Don’t know if Biden has gone there. ...pretty politically charged to make that kind of statement

[mysteryowl]

5. People keep counting how many republicans (x4) to hold off the vote, but what about the Dems?

We have at least two Dems that vote with the repukes: Manchin & Jones. What is their current position on this situation?
