The second-ranked Senate GOP leader on Thursday suggested the Supreme Court confirmation vote to replace Anthony Kennedy would take place sometime in September, saying he "would be shocked" if the vote happened before Labor Day.
Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) added that he is "not opposed" to moving President Donald Trump's nominee more quickly, but he noted that background checks on Trump's still-unnamed pick are likely to take time.
Republicans have already made clear that they don't plan to heed Democratic calls for a delay in the Supreme Court confirmation until after November's election to give midterm voters a chance to weigh in.
Supreme Court nominees since the Ford administration spent an average of 67 days between their nomination and final confirmation, according to a 2015 report from the Congressional Research Service — a window that Cornyn told reporters he "would endorse" as a goal. Of course, that figure doesn't include President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, whom Republicans blocked and denied a confirmation hearing in 2016.
