. . . at this point, IMHO, the least worst resolution would be for McConnell to call the question at the next session of the full Senate.The remaining members of POTUS Trump’s list of potential nominees should immediately form a union by sending out an open letter to the Senate with the joint commitment that none of them needs the job. And that, therefore, the confirmation process will be dignified, as befits a SCOTUS justice.
The nominee will not do anything more towards obtaining confirmation than answering written interrogatories from senators, will not appear on television, and will not allow his/her name to remain in consideration if the senate or any of its committees holds televised hearings about the nomination.
I’ve had ideas like that too, so don’t get me wrong.
At this point I’m going to just wait and see how big a fiasco the Republican leadership can turn this into.
She made a mockery of the process, and they made it possible.
