But all they’d need to confirm her for SCOTUS is all the Dems plus a couple of quisling Rs, right? I could see Murkowski and Romney in on the deal.

All they need are 50 votes, plus the VP.

I don’t see any hard core legal eagles going along with this.

Plus…there is the little problem with finding a SCOTUS seat mid-term.

Brennan should make sure he sleeps with one eye open.

Harris probably can’t be confirmed to a judicial post if the GOP stays unified. At best the Democrats have a 50-50 split in the Senate, and without a sitting VP there would be nobody to break the tie.
