And you are assuming that there were 25 nominees on the list!!! I doubt that they were that many. I will say five or six, maximum 10.
Then, expand the names on the list and keep going until you find a known originalist ready to accept the nomination.
Heck, nominate someone like Mark Levin who would love to take on Senators in such a hearing.
It's called misinformation being released to try to justify the lack of principle in the administration. First, it was because there weren't enough Senators to approve an open originalist. That didn't fly. So, now this is the excuse.
