Romney and Collins probably would abstain. Maybe more.
Why?

At first I thought Trump should use a delay to get re-elected ("vote for me, or else the Dems will install another communist"), but I think they should probably ram RBG's replacement through.

That is interesting political move. Maybe he will use it.

..you do realize we could end up with 100's of thousands of justices that way
