Actually it was only about 14 months from the death of Scalia to the nomination of Gorsuch. As you recall, the nuclear option was dropped in favor of a simple majority because Democrats wanted to filibuster over the shabby treatment of Garland by Republicans. But my original point is that there was no hurry by Republicans at that time. A position I am certain would have their hair on fire if such a tactic had been pulled by a Democrat.Why? SCOTUS worked with 8 judges for a couple years when Republicans refused to even consider a candidate for partisan reasons. I don't recall your need for speed then.I don’t think she’s alive but I think it’s time we find out! We need a new judge!
Two years, when was that specifically? Dates and reason, please.
