NPR is reporting it. Can't wait for Mitch to be super principled about not replacing her during an election year.

Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."

Crazy development timing wise. Does Trump fill the seat before the election or try to use it as a reason to re-elect?

Plenty of time after the election regardless of outcome to get a nominee confirmed.

That this death is immediately about strategy for whether it'll be a republican or democrat replacing her shows how mumped up the supreme court is.

hmm.  if this is accurate, having two committed nos off the bat would actually make confirmation slightly difficult.  the arizona election is a special election, so kelly could take office as early as the end of november.  and collins will be under huge pressure to pledge to not confirm during a lame duck.  of course, if she loses, there's no reason she has to keep her pledge (and she'll also be under huge pressure to confirm).

grassley has also made anti-confirmation noises in the past, and since he's older than balls, he has no reelection (or post-senate employment) pressure.
