Can't tell you right off hand, just saying I'm thinking you'd have better odds for getting a conservative justice confirmed with more "liberal republicans" and less "conservative democrats" in the Senate...

What's the SCOTUS history of the Senate with the democrats of any/all stripes in charge? Guessing even MORE darned poor!

If you have two candidates, one of which you know is going to be your next Senator, and then you have two more candidates who are really the best (whichever party you might prefer) but can't possibly win the election...then what are you going to do with your vote?

Not saying this is a good situation, but it's the one we've got right now. And statewide elections are the worst of all possible worlds.

Easy. I will never vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-amnesty, socialized medicine, big government liberal. Any politician that supports or enables those positions is a liberal.

As when McConnell provided critical cloture votes to allow Reid to move Obamacare funding forward, and when McConnell provided critical cloture votes to allow Reid to move Amnesty forward, and when McConnell provided cloture votes to allow the removal of the debt limit. McConnell is the leader of senate republicans.

A liberal like that.

John Cornyn falls in the same category. I won't vote for any liberal, ever.

I will vote for a conservative.

You don't get more conservative governance by voting for liberals. Ever.
