I believe using this “possible” strategy to be a mistake.
In spite of the bitter aftertaste of the Kavanaugh confirmation debacle, one party or the other needs to leave some of this childish behavior in the past.
If Biden’s nomination is confirmed, as I believe it will be, the Supreme Court will remain solidly conservative. If somehow the nomination is blocked, it will alienate even more minority voters. I don’t think it is worth the risk when you consider conservatives will outnumber liberals 6-3 on the court even with the approval of Biden’s nomination.
As was said numerous times while Trump was president, elections have consequences. Now a Democrat, Joe Biden, is the President. Let Democrat’s have their nomination. I believe it is imperative that the Republican Party make an effort to attract a more diverse base of voters for future elections than have a meaningless liberal vote on the court.

Not sure how you get to 6-3, but I do agree it is time to stop the childishness and just get on with the people's business.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.
