Close; this is a nominee designed to have a confirmation process. One who was selected to be rejected. Do the process for this one, the next one will be presented which is whom the White House really wants, and very little leg to stand on in refusing to hold hearings at that point, and pretty much exactly what I predicted.
Here's your bait, Republicans - do you let the nominee sit there and wait for the president to withdraw it after throwing repeated fits, or will you cave? I'd put money on the caving, but I think I'll more prudently tuck it away in a more exchangeable form.
Outstanding logic, and I think you are right
