Lame ducks should not be allowed to make appointments even if the new president is from the same party.

Lame ducks should be heavily restricted in general.

"Lame duck" terms literally shouldn't even exist! They only made sense back when it could(and did) take literal weeks for the new government to arrive in Washington. Now, almost everyone can be there within a day or two.

Sure.
And that gives Democrats a reason to drag this until Nov 4th, then invoke a Senate rule that a lake duck can't vote on a SCOTUS pick.

If McConnell loses, he almost certainly doesn't have standing to continue.
Actually, that's what I'm afraid of: that a bunch of these vulnerable Republican incumbents will pledge not to nominate anyone while it's electorally useful to do so, then just go back on their pledge if Biden wins and then quickly confirm some one in the lame duck session once they're insulated/relieved from the consequences.

I don't think McConnell wants to wait though. In any case, this will be decided without a vote or perhaps regardless of the vote. I don't think there's a clearer demonstration that we need to be doing a whole hell of a lot more than merely voting.

You can donate to anyone running for public office, for Congress or POTUS, in any of the 50 states.

We could flip TX, GA, SC, and AK. Here are the 5 candidates in those states.
Mj Hegar
Jon Ossoff
Reverend Raphael Warnock
Jaime Harrison
Dr. Al Gross

Amy McGrath is running against #MoscowMitch
