Lot's and lots of yak on the TV about this. Much of it phoney. They talk about a tremendous floor flight. Not very likely. Either the Republicans have all their ducks in a row, and their mavericks and RINO's under control, or they don't. Even with McCain out with brain cancer, they still have a one vote majority in the Senate, and a Republican vice president as a tie breaker. If they don't have all their members on board, they won't bring the matter up until they do.
I don't know the names on Trump's picklist, but I assume they are all guys like Gorsuch, who has worked out well and is generally respected. This kind of guy will believe in "stare decisus", Latin for "Let it Stand". The doctrine that when in doubt, it is justice to rule the same way previous judges have ruled on the issue. Which makes all the talk about over turning Roe vs Wade just scare talk. Roe vs Wade has been the law of the land for nearly 50 years, a half century. Stare decisus means stick with Roe, because it is the way things have been done for 50 years. I don't think Roe vs Wade is in any danger from anyone Trump might nominate.
