There's no way of knowing at this point. I think that any anti-abortion nominee will deceive as necessary to get past the abortion questions, since the Democrats will refuse to approve anybody that fails their abortion-on-demand litmus test. That's just the hand we've been dealt.

That would be true if the Republicans were in the minority in the Senate. The Republicans have 55 seats. It shouldn't make one bit of difference what the minority party thinks if they don't have the votes to stop a nomination or the constitutional option.

It's no wonder Republicans keeping winning elections and conservatives have virtually nothing to show for it. Both the Republican party and conservatives behave like losers. Either that or Bush and the Republicans don't really have any intention of keeping their promises to nominate Scalia-like originalists.

Clinton and the Democrats didn't once fail to nominate an open leftist to the court and had no problem getting Breyer or Ginsburg approved. Until Republicans and conservatives get a backbone, the Supreme Court isn't going to change no matter how much Kool-Aid one drinks.
