I'd say you are correct on the point. The Turtle would follow the set precedent. Also keep in mind, Justice Breyer (losing side of Heller, nuff said) is 81. Replacing Buzzi-Ginsburg and Breyer is 7-2 (6-3? Roberts concerns me...) not the 5-4 we have had for a while. Also gets more 2A cases heard.
Actually you selling the turtle a little short. He took the dems precedent and upped them by using it for SCOTUS appointments. He has said pre C-19 that he would do a nominee this year. But the window to get it done is very small. When the President and senate majority are the same it is different than when opposed. The majority leader has a great deal of latitude...
As previously said, the MSM would have a field day with it. As evidenced by the referenced article from CNN May 19, 2019. They would be all over it.
It won't be Corona-horror level, but it would would be the next media train-wreck.
Would Mr. McConnell cave to media pressures again?
Who better to explain the "Biden Rule" then the man himself?
How many hearings for alleged inappropriate behavior will be necessary for the next nominee?
We will see, unless the Covid gets us first...
If nothing else, it would knock back the C-19 coverage.
I could go for both.

I believe the next nominee will be a woman, not as easy to pull that crap, but the MSM will pull some rat out of the hat...

I'd love it.Amy Coney Barrett nominated as RBG's replacement would drive the left completely over the edge. If you thought the Kavanaugh reaction was bad...
It will make the Kavanaugh hearings look like a church social.I'd love it.
The left would show their true colors. Attacking another awesome judge and a woman too.
But the rules never apply to the left. Conservatives are fair game for below the belt attacks.
So our society IS gender biased after all!?!
If a woman is nominated, will the left produce a male victim to talk about Hippopotamuses?
We have all heard the term misogyny beat into our brains by the media. How come we never hear the term for hating men just for being men?
No, our news media is biased against Republicans, Conservatives, Libertarians, and all other non-progressives.
Such a person will be attacked. Condoleeza Rice was portrayed as a barefoot house slave in a cartoon which I believe was published by the N Y Times.
I assume you mean misandry?
Time for dems to gather up the sunglasses and fishing line. RGB is back in the hospital.
