She shouldn’t resign now. They would find a way to delay a replacement confirmation easily with less than two months to go.
If she was going to resign it should have been 9 months ago.

Yeah it would be absolutely insane for her to resign right now. Republicans would pull every trick in the book to delay confirmation. I don’t think they’re even scheduled to reconvene until November 25. And they’re scheduled to end the session on December 20. That’s not a lot of time to vet a replacement, nominate them, hold hearings, and schedule a vote. Even a delay of a couple of days for some bullshit reason could prevent confirming a replacement, and then we would be good and fucked. And unlike Democrats, Republicans have no qualms about making up bullshit reasons to cause a delay.
