The House has nothing to do with confirming nominations of 0's socialist czars of all stripes. This is the kind of thing the Repubs now pledge not to filibuster. Some of these extremists deserve to be permanently filibustered.

Not to mention if, heaven forbid, the SC loses one of its conservatives. Do the Pubs just let 0 create a socialist majority on the court, or do they filibuster for their right to maintain the present balance?

This is maybe not a bad thing now, but it could well become a very bad thing. Especially given the Pubs' long-standing tendency to roll over and submit at crunch time.
