Barrett isn't the issue. Trying to jam an appointment in before the election/inauguration would. Quite simply it'd be a bad faith move after the 2016 debacle, and any faith anybody had left in the system would be destroyed.

Yeah I saw, but Mitt Romney has already said he wouldn't support it. They don't have the votes, and I have a feeling they'll be backing off in a few days once they have a whip count and realize it isn't there.

According to Romney's communication's director, that no longer holds true.
Everything is nuts now.

Tough to say, but it's a possible scenario although the likes of McSally, who's destine to lose, will vote for said nominee. Gardner is quiet on the issue but I think he would too, given he's destined to lose as well. Either way, there's too many moving parts and things need to simmer down a bit so we have an idea what will happen although if 2020 wasn't going to be a blood bath already, it will be now.
For now, let's mourn Ginsburg: she has accomplished a lot.

It's gone from winner makes the decision to WE MUST WIN TO MAKE THE DECISION! It's put the pressure pre-election rather than post-election.
Hopefully Trump just gets someone in the seat ASAP. Because whoever is selected is going to be a disaster, best just get it over with so it is not yet another problem.

She should have retired years ago, but the die is already cast. No turning back now. This is going to be a mess no matter what.
