Call the bluff. Put the Gang in the corner along with all the red state Democrats. Dare them to block a highly qualified strict constructionist

And when they do .... Then what???

You really think you can get the likes of Snow or Collins voted out of office???

Why would anyone want to? They are probably the most conservative candidates that can realistically be elected in their states. The same with Chafee. They aren't very reliable, but they are a lot better than a full blown communist democrat that would take their place.

The problem is with the red state RINOs like Lindsey Graham. There is no reason why he should be able to behave the way he does being from a conservative state. Somehow he gets a pass though. McCain is another problem.

If the GOP would get serious about replacing moderates from red states, then they'd be ok.

We don't need Snow, Collins or Chafee to vote our way. Let them vote against the nuke option and the nominee if need be with our blessing. We only need two or three out of Dewine, McCain, Warner, and Graham. And we only need them for the nuke option.

I'll take my chances with Nelson (NE) Pryor (AR) and even Byrd (WV) on the floor (not the nuke) vote.

If they vote against a conservative judge they can kiss their senate seats good bye.
