The Democrats don't want to see that happen, of course. And, many Democratic politicians are incensed that the Republican Congress refused to even consider President Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, for over a year. They consider it an unconstitutional partisan move.
Republicans contend that it was their right not to even consider Obama's nominee in the last year of his final term and they wanted to leave such an important decision with long-term national impacts in the hands of the voters, and that the voters chose Trump partially based on his Supreme Court views/potential nominees.
