This process will be completed before the SCOTUS term begins again in October.
Also, Trump is going to nominate a strict constructionist that will not rubber stamp a particular party's ideological agenda, but instead will interpret the constitution as written.
In the past, all Presidents, regardless of party, have sought to have a balanced SCOTUS.
Take that however you want, but I do think this will be a very large-scale fight in Congress, with some ugly repercussions if attempts are made to replace Kennedy with anyone more conservative than him.
I bet that is on many Marxist wish list.
The only large scale fights, are going to be in the heads of the mentally insane loony left.

BS. Garland didn’t merit Senate support because Obama was nominating him. It had squat to do with how moderate he was.
Do you know who Robert Bork was?
He was the super conservative Reagan appointee who was rejected by a Democratic Senate for being too conservative. Anthony Kennedy was the compromise pick who replaced him, and in many cases Kennedy has ruled against conservative interests.
If Obama had nominated a judge who would consider voting against liberal interests that judge may have earned a hearing. But thus far liberal judges have been pretty lockstep.
The Garland gambit could have also backfired if Hillary won. A more liberal nominee would probably have been put forth in that case.
He did with Neil Gorsuch. In any case, expect another nominee who is as close to Neil Gorsuch in every regard as possible, and you will not be far wrong.
Save it. They didn’t even have a hearing for Garland. What goes around comes around and Republican will lose SC appointments because of McConnell. We are going to see just how right wing the GOP can make the country because this will be their chance to go as extreme as they can.
Conservatives lost Bork. Maybe what went around already came around?

In which universe is Gorsuch considered to ba a moderate? We are doomed as a country. Any notions of equality or fairness are now gone. Kennedy should have hung on for a few more years.
Sounds good to me. Trump appointed him to the sixth circuit, so he will already be familiar with him.
