Can you give me feedback regarding my thoughts on filling US Supreme Court seats?

As you probably know there is a big uproar among many Democrats that Trump and the republican majority Senate are pushing through a nominee for confirmation. The Democrats say the Republicans are being hypocrites, because when Justice Scalia died they argued it wasn’t right to fill the seat. They argued that since Obama was in his last year of the presidency that we should wait for “the people” to choose a president before doing anything about the Supreme Court. They are full of shit of course, and I was disgusted when the Republicans did it.

From what I understand, and I would like to be corrected if I am wrong, the Majority Leader of the Senate decides the Senate calendar, so if he/she simply chooses not to put the hearings on the calendar they never happen.

I don’t have a huge problem with the Republicans pushing through a nominee right now, because of course they will. My problem is what happened when Obama was president. It seems to me that if a moderate nominee was given a chance at a hearing, some of the Republicans in the Senate might very well have confirmed someone.

I think there should be a rule about putting a candidate on the Senate Calendar. Like it has to be done within 90 days of it being vacated, or something like that. What do you think?

What would be a better suggestion if you don’t like that one.
