Forty-six days before the presidential election of 2020, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, and Pres. Trump will try to fill that vacancy.

When Judge Merrick Garland was nominated eight months before the election of 2016, no action was taken by the Senate.

The difference is that of political advantage.

The Constitution states that the Senate shall provide “Advice and Consent” on nominations such as judicial ones.

(Now) Justice Kavanaugh once wrote that it should take about six months for the nomination/confirmation process.

Both nomination cases are a betrayal of the Constitution and demonstrate a lack of character by all those who advocate and support such courses of action.

Loyalty to the Constitution and tests of character are there to be seen.

Pres. Trump and Senator McConnell should each be asked “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”.
