They would have jumped through those hoops and absolutely would've filibustered her, and IMHO it would not have been broken. And I say that as someone who would turn cartwheels of joy to see Janice Brown on the SCOTUS.

Again, everyone is presupposing that this was a winnable fight simply because she was confirmed before. There isn't an automatic connection between the two.

The biggest problem here is the fact that we blew the one chance we had to invoke the constitutional option and fix this problem once and for all. We are paying for that. Thank you, Dr. Frist.

The nuclear option is still on the table. Finding a reason to disqualify a candidate you had already confirmed once before would be difficult.

And "Trust me" sounds to much like "read my lips".
