I think the better argument based on the work schedule is to get a Justice in now.
Yes. Also based on the possibility of several important cases going 4-4, leaving the lower court's decision(s) in place.
But the Republicans don't care about what's best for the country. I put the chances of an Obama nominee being confirmed at a million to one. Unless he comes up with some super strategy.
I think it's all about positioning for the next president.
