GOP (and moderate Dem) reaction might be based on the timing...


...I'm not sure on the timing, but I believe that the court's term ends in October 2022, meaning presumably we wouldn't have hearings until then, which is right in the middle of the election when some Senators need to be campaigning.

If the Dems perceive it as a positive for them, then they'll ram it through as fast as possible pre-election to have a win for Election Day. If they see it as a negative, then they could just delay hearings until the lame-duck session to reduce its profile as an election issue. If they lose the Senate in November, then they could still ram it through before the R majority takes office in January 2023.
