Frankly, I'd hope that he gets confirmed because enough of the opposition comes to their senses. They aren't blocking Goresuch on the merits, but on the concept of the "stolen seat".

Some of them will have to realize that they aren't going to get that seat back. They have two years before they might have any leverage and four before they can possibly pick seats.

The nomination is not going to be withdrawn, so the only way to name a different justice is to vote this one down. But that isn't very likely to happen if it comes to a vote.

But say that it does happen and they can somehow manage to sink this nomination as "revenge" against the GOP for Garland and against Trump just because. Trump's already revealed a list of judges he'd name. Goresuch would be followed with someone similar in ideology. Not with Garland. Not with a compromise candidate. There is no reason to even propose a compromise candidate.

So sinking Goresuch only harms a man who has no part in the fight and takes away from him his one opportunity at the highest point his career could ever take, but doesn't harm anyone the opposition thinks have wronged them. And the outcome will be the same.

Well, the “stolen seat” meme is what they are going on but the left in DC and in all positions of power around the nation are being held captive by fascist dogs.

Their only concern on either front is control.

The Democraps asked for these nuts years ago and invited them in.

Oh Well.
