I don't think the numbers would work.

Republicans have 55 in Senate and need at least 50 of those to vote out the filibuster (with VP Cheney's deciding vote), so I can not see the 6 RINOs voting to end the filibuster if it comes up for a vote tomorrow.

"I can not see the 6 RINOs voting to end the filibuster if it comes up for a vote tomorrow."

Maybe. But they would at least have to face that now instead of getting to weasel out of it with a white nominee the Rats painted as racists and the RINOs piled onto.

We must force the issue now, with a woman, if we ever want a male conservative judge confirmed without being slandered on the floor of the Senate. It's that simple.

With great reluctance, I must agree.
