Now that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has assumed room temperature and is prepping for a worm banquet, we must look to the prospects of her replacement.

What should be done?

Trump and McConnell need to move quickly and decisively.

There was a guy who took the throne of England named Harold Harefoot. They called him that because he moved so fast to make himself king that nobody had time to lay an alternative claim. We need that now.

Trump needs to nominate a rock-ribbed conservative jurist. Now is not the time to send up a lukewarmer. Why? First, a number of Senate Republicans are going to want to wait until after the election; that cedes the field to the Donkeys. This has enormous political leverage if it is handled properly. It will dominate the news cycle. A quick nomination of a solid Conservative will set Democrat heads to explode, and in the process help reveal them to the public as the radicals and hate-mongers they are. The public has forgotten, and this will be a good refresher. The Democrats don't want this fight now. They don't want to remind the public that the Supreme Court is up for grabs. They also don't want to drown out Hidin' Biden's carefully crafted message. This will do all of that. This will make Biden disappear into the woodwork even further, while it will bring Trump to the fore. Trump will be in the middle of this fight. Biden will either have to remain silent or get drawn out of the attic he's inhabiting with his rocking chair.

Frankly, the nastier this fight is the better.

The Democrats won't be able to control this. And it will expose their radicalism in a new and fundamental way.

I don't see any way Trump will get a pick through the RINO Senate, not with Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, and perhaps Lindsay Graham not wanting to vote before the election. But Trump ought to make the nomination and fight.

And then if he gets it before the election so much the better.

RBG wouldn't retire when she had the chance. She waited too long and now may have cost her party the election.

That is, if the Republicans don't screw this up, which I have every reason to believe they will.

One final thought; this election is going to be hotly contested and likely will wind up in SCOTUS. This loss was absolutely critical for the Democrats. But if the Sups remain tied at 4 to 4? We need a conservative justice and a majority to prevent the Left from stealing this election. Right now, with Mr. Roberts riding that fence like a rodeo cowboy, there is real danger they will succeed at stealing America. Replace Dr. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is God's gift to this nation.
