@KennethBaer Sure. Senate Rs confirmed a former McConnell aide, Walker, to a circuit court slot before the appeals court judge officially retired. Had only announced timing of his retirement. They can confirm KBJ in spring and wait for Breyer to finish this term's docket in June. — PolitiTweet.org

A normal SCOTUS opening, from retirement announcement to confirmation, takes 8-10 weeks. Kav took longer because of 2nd hearing. McConnell put ACB on steroids, finished it in 5-ish weeks. Dems should confirm new justice by May 1. She'll take seat once Breyer quits end of June. — PolitiTweet.org

@KennethBaer All presidential nominations expire at the end of each year. You couldn't confirm someone in 2022 to replace a justice in '23, '24. — PolitiTweet.org
