I think you mean 4-4, and the court isn't 4-4, it's 5-3. Also, the Republicans were willing to risk that in 2016; why not now?

This just goes to my earlier statement: I wish they'd just admit it's for the power and get rid of all the excuses.

It shows precedent.

Yes, 4-4.  My bad.

I couldn't care less about what anybody said or how hypocritical they are.  It's normal practice on both sides.  What matters is whether it is legal and constitutional. That answer is yes.

Republicans regained control of the Senate in 2014.  The people then voted to expand Republican control of the Senate in 2018. 

If roles were reversed, I might not like it, but it would be perfectly understandable, legal and constitutional and I wouldn't say anything about it.

Bottom line is nothing is legally or constitutionally wrong with Trump nominating and the Senate confirming a SCOTUS pick right now.  I would say the same if it were the Dems in control, cause that's just life.
