Fine. Let's follow the Harry Reid Rule.

In 2005, Reid led an ultimately unsuccessful filibuster of Bush's Supreme Court nomination of Alito. Then, in 2013, Reid unilaterally abolished the filibuster for all Presidential nominations EXCEPT for nominations to the Supreme Court, which he expressly retained. Clearly, Reid believes that filibustering Supreme Court nominations is a legitimate and important right for the Senate that needed to be retained.

So at least 34 Republican Senators need to announce that they are going to follow Reid's example and filibuster Obama's Supreme Court nomination.

Is that the one known as — “I enrich all my boys as often as my vote will do so? “
