Schumer and Leahy are still lurking out there, waiting to pounce on "out of the mainstream" judges.

That’s a supposition as well. The abortion coalition is in tatters and I don’t think they’ll be able to derail a nominee so easily anymore. There just isn’t an Iron Media Curtain and they haven’t won that many fights. Bork wasn’t a loss. Sure we got Kennedy, but that was the last big fight.
You’re not going to have a Ted Kennedy (D-Dead) state:
Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) took to the Senate floor with a strong condemnation of Bork in a nationally televised speech, declaring,
“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens.”
Those days are over. I think you could easily get a Scalia or Thomas through the process. Libs will fight hard and long, but they’re powder is wet. We’ve heard it all.
