to replace Senator McCain. I checked, and it looks like the deadline for filing was in May.
The R governor will be able to appoint a replacement, who is sure to be a yes vote on Kavanaugh.

Impeachment, on the other hand, will take months.

(1,714 posts)Besides, since Sen. McCain wouldn't be available to vote to confirm (or not,) Kavanaugh, there would be a much better chance to deny him confirmation.
