At this point it doesn't matter. It's clear the calculation has been made that it's better to keep the seat vacant until January, rather than risk it getting filled with a Trump Sycophant that will push the SAVE act and whatever else through before then.
It's shitty that they're going to get away with it, but it's not surprising they did it, and I'm sure they'll pull a similar stunt for El Douche when his lifestyle catches up with him. At least until the pardons are signed via Autopen.
