Stealth conservatives are probably off the list now. And open conservatives will not be able to get past a filibuster.

Let's see. So Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg can sail right through with no questions asked.

But someone who actually respects and knows the Constitution can't get a hearing, let alone confirmation?

I begin to think some of you really do favor liberal court activism.

Anything to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, eh?

Anything to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, eh?

Of a truth, I see no victory in this withdrawal nor in the hate shown this last month nor in the ideological divisiveness of the Republicans.

Again I aver that stealth candidates are off the table, and openly conservative candidates will either fail the 'extraordinary' test of the gang of 14 and thus not get out of committee - or will be filibustered without the Senate going 'nuclear'. Thereby, the default will ultimately be a moderate on the record who will turn some uknowable direction once on the Court.

I don't believe in judicial activism, period.

I even remember a time when "real" conservatives didn't either. Like six months ago.
