Sotomayor: Nominated in May, confirmed in Aug

Kagan: Nominated in May, confirmed in Aug

As much as I would like to believe they will be able to delay the nomination until after the election I doubt they will be able to based on the past few....
correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe with Sotomayor and Kagan the Senate was controlled by the dems, all the Republicans could have done is delay the vote, so it's possible the Republicans could delay or even vote and deny the nomination this time since they control the Senate .
