Is that a safe GOP seat? If not, I'd be worried.

Oh well.

Lee is what passes for sane in today's radicalized GOPee.

Lee criticized Trump last year and said he should step down. And if he goes to the bench, that vacates a Republican senate seat. I don't see that as a serious candidate for nomination. I expect he's on the list only because he's a slam dunk for right to life? Just a guess.

If Lee can't vote things look better. McCain is out, Flake and Corker can be brought over to our side. Collins is a possibility for a NO vote. We may be able to stall Trump until after the mid term elections if things go our way.

if s/he doesn't confirm the nominee.

Corker might...he's leaving. Collins? Only if she's secretly planning on leaving soon, to run for Governor. But she just got re-elected.

Flake might...he's leaving.

So that's two. But they are Republicans. Republicans generally fall in line with what the party wants. If Corker & Flake stay in politics, they'll need the support of the party.

This is a chance in a lifetime to stack the S.Ct. with loyalists. The party will insist that every Republican confirm the nominee. There will be no exceptions. There may even be secret promises made (but check w/Collins about how those promises work out...she was promised something for her vote on a bill, and they reneged on it, after she voted).

she's called. It's the obvious choice for our serial child molester, loser appointer in chief & shit.
