The Senate is controlled by Republicans. Elections have consequences.
Only if McConnell gets paid enough

Indeed they do. Unfortunately the elections have resulted in Repug quislings who have pretty much rubber stamped the Obama Agenda.
Wussy Mitch is going to roll over and have his tummy scratched.....He hates those outside DC and will do anything to hold onto power
What exactly have they done for us?
The could send the nominee with a minority vote.
Republicans would need to lose two votes on the Senate Judiciary Committee in order for Democrats to overcome the committee hurdle, because a 10-10 tie vote results in a failure to report the nomination).
You do realize that Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake are on the Senate Judiciary Committee?
Do you know you can lull a snapping turtle to sleep if you turn him on his back and stroke his underside?
You don’t even need to do that to Mitch to make him go limp
But defending the seat is what the GOP must do -- not just to preserve the balance on the Court, but to defend -- literally to protect and to preserve the Constitution from the mischief the Democrat/Socialist want to inflict on our Republic.
There is no alternative course of action ... nor is there any need for an "alternative" course of action.
Spineless twits like McConnell also have consequences
Besides, someone should tell Harry that what is good for the goose is good for the gander and remind him of how he ran the Senate when he was majority leader and then call him a hypocrite if he complains.
The democrats would love to force a vote because it would be a disaster for GOP in November.
The “Democrats” won’t have to. There are way more than enough turncoat republicans to get the job done.
Dems have no worries.
GOP will cave.
Even if the dims place their motion to discharge, McConnell will have no difficulty beating it back. Simply take that vote.
If the Republicans can't withstand even this low-pressure tactic, we'll have to abandon the voting process nationwide.
They won’t.
It would be a good time to pre-empt any move to even schedule a floor vote. Write your senator (if a Republican) and let him know that under no circumstances is he to vote to release the nominee for a floor vote (if he's on the Committee), or to confirm ANY nominee submitted by the Traitor in Chief.
Make sure they know that if they do, even if they're not up for re-election this cycle, you have a long memory. And if they are up, they should start looking for work.
