“Senate Republicans are unlikely to get a Supreme Court vacancy this year. They’re privately prepared for one, just in case,” Politico reports.
”A Democratic midterm triumph would carry massive implications for the final years of President Donald Trump’s presidency, including the prospect that the Senate could essentially shut down confirmations of his favored nominees. That’s a nightmare scenario for Republicans, who have viewed their reshaping of the federal judiciary as a crown jewel of Trump’s legacy.”
Mediaite: Senate Democrats suggest they would block any Trump SCOTUS noms for 2 years if.
