Republicans plan a speedy confirmation process for President Donald Trump s pick to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , proceeding on the assumption theyll support someone whose name has not yet been announced and submitted to the Senate.

Although Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hasnt laid out a schedule yet, Republicans are aiming to hold a final vote on a nominee to replace the liberal icon shortly before the Nov. 3 election , according to The Associated Press. Two weeks of confirmation hearings would occur sometime in mid-October.

That timeline would be extremely aggressive compared with the process for recent Supreme Court appointments, including the two previously made by Trump. The Senate did not begin hearings for Justice Neil Gorsuch in 2017 until 47 days after his nomination was announced. It did not begin hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 until 56 days after his nomination was announced.

Republicans serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is tasked with vetting judicial nominees, defended proceeding with a truncated schedule that would provide only two weeks for preparations for the hearings after Trump reveals his pick on Saturday.

For me, it would be, Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana said when asked by reporters on Tuesday if proceeding with hearings next month would allow him enough time to prepare. The senator added that the schedule could be altered.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee also said she was fine with speedy action on the nominee, saying, Were going to get our nominee. Well do our hearings.
