Anything to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, eh?

Of a truth, I see no victory in this withdrawal nor in the hate shown this last month nor in the ideological divisiveness of the Republicans.

Again I aver that stealth candidates are off the table, and openly conservative candidates will either fail the 'extraordinary' test of the gang of 14 and thus not get out of committee - or will be filibustered without the Senate going 'nuclear'. Thereby, the default will ultimately be a moderate on the record who will turn some uknowable direction once on the Court.

I agree 100 percent.

And that doesn't even count the ones who won't even consider being nominated because of what we have just witnessed.
