The nuclear option won't be necessary, but isn't it a disgrace to our nation and to Judge Alito that, notwithstanding his extraordinary qualifications, the RATS are so bereft of ideas and so beholden to the abortion lobby that he won't likely even get 60 votes for confirmation.
Isn't that the blight, the scandal over which we should raise Hell with every Democratic senator? In every state, wherever possible, we need to make them PAY for a NO vote on Alito.
Breyer and Ginsburg both received near-unanimous confirmation votes. This political stunt from the RATS makes me want to vomit.
Actually, I don't have a problem with that. I'd have expected Republican Senators to do the same with Breyer and Ginsburg. This nonsense about qualification being the end all and be all determinant of whether you vote to confirm is simply stupid. If you disagree with the way a judge interprets the Constitution and the law, then a Senator is perfectly justified in voting against him, regardless of his "qualifications". That's why elections matter.
