I agree the current POTUS and Senate should vote on a nominee, but the situation here is unique.
For instance, I heard where it has been over 80 years since a SCJ was appointed in an election year
The recently passed SCJ was the first sitting SJC to pass in a generation.
Ideally SCJs would step down when the political climate was conducive to electing a similar-minded replacement, but this SCJ may have been trying to hold on until a change in POTUS.
Makes you wonder should Ginsberg have stepped down about 3 years ago.
