Not so fast! Remember this?
“I have made two mistakes, and they are both sitting on the Supreme Court.”—Dwight D. Eisenhower
That would be Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justice William Brennan.
“Not so fast! Remember this?”

You only remember the swing and misses and not the homeruns?
Life is often a gamble and the SC is no exception. The price of doing nothing is handing the decision over to Biden.
If you’re going by the the assumption that everything will go as it’s hoped for, then you haven’t met 2020. We’ve got a POTUS, his wife and GOP congress members getting Mr.C, if more GOP senators are taken out of action that way things are going to get mighty hairy.
McConnell isn’t exactly a spring chicken in that regard, also.
Besides, having to go through a long, tortuous process with multiple new faces (who might end up lousy, too) would be begging 2020 to make things even more fun.
