Ooh, interesting angle. Though I’m not confident Dems would muster up enough spine to do that (or that some wouldn’t break away and vote with repubs), but yeah, repubs probably wouldn’t want to take that chance.
No, they definitely would sit on the appointment if it’s someone dumb.
They might take what they think is the “middle ground” and let a “compromise candidate” through. But I hope they remember that Merrick Garland was the “compromise candidate”, and Mitch and Lindsey still shit all over that pick.
