1. Some RINOs are arguing that the president should not act to fill the Supreme Court vacancy because it& #39;ll cause Biden to win, and then the Democrats will expand and pack the Court and kill the filibuster rule.

2. I guess they haven& #39;t been paying much attention to what the Democrats have been saying for some time -- that is, if they win the Senate, they will kill the filibuster rule and pack the Court.

3. I can think of no president who has chosen not to nominate a candidate to the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurs, regardless of when that vacancy occurs.  Whether the Senate confirms or not is a wholly separate issue.

4. But for a Republican president not to try to fill a vacancy with a Republican Senate (despite some weakness among certain senators) is, irrational.  The Democrats have not and would never do such a thing.
