If the dems force McConnell to confirm this judge on 50 votes, that's all it will take if other openings occur. That might not be a smart move.
But the dems are unhinged, so who knows?

Justice Alito was confirmed with 58 votes in 2006, Justice Thomas with 52 votes in 1991.

It never should have been 60 to begin with. 51 is fine. We may get 4 and if Dems ever get leadership again they will pick who they want. We cannot stall the work of the Supreme Court worrying about what might happen in the future.
