The Hill reports:
The upcoming fight over Biden’s nominee, who the president intends to nominate by the end of February, is new territory for Republicans: It’s the first time since 2017, when they got rid of the 60-vote threshold for Supreme Court picks, that they haven’t controlled the chamber or had a GOP president in the White House.
There's more:
Republicans could, for example, boycott the committee vote and deny Democrats the quorum they need to vote on a nomination, as well as the majority Judiciary Committee rules require to report a nomination. And even an absence of one Democratic senator on the floor could slow down the process, with Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) eyeing a timeline similar to the 30 days between when Trump announced Barrett’s nomination to her confirmation vote.
It will be interesting to watch what happens.
