It is always hard for me to put daily life ahead of the reality, emotions and respect of a death. First, we need to let her body get cold and put in the ground. I am appalled, first by the media that feels they must push the questions and speculation of what the President and Senate will do, and second that our elected Republicans not only do not deflect the questions out of respect for the death, but spout off that they are going to ram a new Justice through in less than two months - 2/3 of the average time that confirmations take.
My personal feelings aside, I see that we have two choices:
1. We can ram a Justice through and face a very high probability of having a clean sweep by the Democrats in November, and then live with that most likely for eight years.
2. We can do what we demanded four years ago and improve our chances of holding both the Executive and Senate.
What Trump and McConnell do will not change how I vote. I will still go down my list of issues and their importance. However, I know that there are many who will change based on what happens in the coming weeks, and this situation changes the entire complexion of the campaigns.
