I see you stubbornly refuse to accept reality. Which is the main problem with even debating you.
If the Gang of 14 did not accept her, the Dems could filibuster. They might not have even needed if the RINOs were to indicate that they would not confirm the nominee.
That's the whole point. Bush can nominate anyone he wants. BUT HE NEEDS TO GET THEM FRIGGIN' CONFIRMED.
You act like he nominates someone and they are sitting on the court the next day, no senate action needed.
This is the attitude of a wimp and that is why I voted for George W. Bush, because he was not a wimp.
