I don’t think there will be a nomination and confirmation before November 3.

I’m very, very worried about what happens in the lame duck session after that.

This is a good point. I could see Moscow Mitch giving permission to “I’m very, very concerned” Collins and Gutless Gardner to vacillate on what they’d do in a desperate attempt to appear “moderate.” Then, if Dems win the Senate, ram through Beer-Keg Brett 2.0 during the lame-duck session.
