I don't think it's a "new" political flashpoint. RBG was 87, with cancer, it's not a surprise.

McConnell has certainly laid plans for an attempt to force a crony through as quickly as possible before the election. Hopefully it won't happen before Trump gets flushed.

Doesn't need to happen before election - whoever wins the election, the current folks will be in office until January. They can press this forward before or after the election.
