President Trump and leading Republicans have stated that they plan to have a new justice fill the seat before the election in November 3. Many democrats and liberal interest groups have argued that the process to fill the seat on the Court should not take place until after the election pointing to Senate Republicans refusal to hold hearings for Merrick Garland in 2016 because it was an election year.
