It's only one day after Ruth Bader Ginsberg died and already Trumpo and Mitch McConnell are making plans to jam a Supreme Court candidate through the Senate and the courts by hook or crook, no matter what they said in 2016 about waiting for a new president to take office!
Ginsburg, 87, died on Friday, just six weeks before the presidential election.
Mr Trump's Democrat rival, Joe Biden, insists the decision on her replacement must wait until after the vote.
The ideological balance of the nine-member court is crucial to its rulings on the most important issues in US law.
In 2016, Senate Republicans blocked Democratic President Barack Obama's pick for the US top court. At the time, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell justified the move on grounds that it was an election year.
But on Friday Senator McConnell said he intended to act on any nomination Mr Trump made.
The appointment of judges in the US is a political question which means the president gets to choose who is put forward.
The Senate then votes to confirm - or reject - the choice.
Now, here's the kicker boys and girls!
Frist... all hell will break lose if the Republicans try this (They will.) but if they still manage to get someone confirmed the the Democrats should just wait until they win the election and are sworn-in... AND THEN THEY SOULD APPOINT ELEVEN, THIRTEEN OR EVEN FIFTEEN JUDGES TO THE SUPREME COURT. (They can do this kids, it's all perfectly legal!)
Voila, problem solved!
The way I see it anyway!
