I've seen it in several MSM articles over the last couple days.

That's one way to go.

Good clarification. The President has this duty under the Constitution and the Senate has the duty to look at it. They should do their duty.
Okay - thanks. Maybe my Google search didn’t pick those up because Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t mentioned (as far as I could see).
Still looks like “make-news”, to me, though. When the Greek muppet asked if Pelosi would move to impeach, she didn’t say “no”. So now they have a “non-answer” to write headlines about.
But I appreciate you sharing the source.
Agreed.
If it were the other way around, I'd agree with that, too. Each side will do best to stick to constitutional guidance for their actions, as we are a nation of laws.
In the long term—and on a time scale longer than most of us can intuit—the system is meant and designed to balance these political perturbances. The Framers knew that politics was always going to be fractious and designed the system to damper these oscillations.
As noted upthread, Justice Thomas is 72, Justice Breyer is 82, Justice Alito is 70, Justice Sotomayor is 66, and Chief Justice Roberts is 65. None of these Justices are exactly youthful.
They could all last as long as Bader-Ginsburg, or they could simply decide that they've had enough and retire at some unknown/unpredictable point, or any number of them could fall ill unexpectedly (not wishing that on anyone, by the way, just saying) as once the age of 65 is crossed physical decline and genetics becomes a really serious factor. There's plenty of room for the pendulum to swing the other way (or not) depending on how the next few elections go and without expanding the court by adding additional justices.

And now the left has begun to eat itself with regard to Justice Ginsburg.

Some noted her poor record of hiring Black law clerks and her comments in 2016 (which she later apologized for) calling Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protests “dumb” and “disrespectful.”
Others re-upped long-standing critiques of RGB-mania, and perhaps even of the judge herself, as reflecting a myopic “white feminism.” On Twitter, there were calls to remember those “left behind” by the brand of feminism Ginsburg supposedly advanced, along with mocking references to the public grief over her death as a “white women’s 9/11.”Jim Dodge was right: "The American Left...historically has been more concerned with doctrinal purity and shafting each other than with effective practice."The whiff of a backlash reflects long-standing tensions within feminism, as a movement sometimes criticized for being symbolized by, and primarily serving, middle-class white women has been challenged by a perspective that emphasizes the interplay of race, class, gender and other factors. It’s a tension that has only grown amid the Black Lives Matter protests of the past summer, as some have questioned whether a highly empowered older white woman ensconced in an elite institution was a fit hero for the moment.

Confirming a justice is a no cost option. Agreed. Mitch didn't make this.
Trump should nominate a candidate and McConnell should schedule a Senate vote. There is no Constitutional requirement for a hearing, and we already know the slander the Dems would employ. McConnell should say that after what the Dems did at the Kavanaugh hearings, we will not allow that farce to happen again. Nominate and vote, let the chips fall where they may.
