Are there any republican senators that will actually do the right thing
and do exactly what McConnell did last time?

Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."

No one should have any doubt that Mitch McConnell is a hypocrite.  And no one should have any doubt that he doesn't care what progressive-minded people think of him.  We're gonna have ourselves a 6-3 conservative majority Supreme Court for the next couple decades at least.  Roe V. Wade is going to be overturned sometime in the next four years, regardless of who wins the election.  Hope everyone in the swing states who voted for Stein in 2016 is happy.

Also from the NPR story linked above:

Indeed, a week after the upcoming presidential election, the court is for the third time scheduled to hear a challenge brought by Republicans to the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.

The most sickening talking point is how it would irresponsible to have a
less-than-full Court going into a potentially contested election.
