Well, considering the nominee will most likely be Senator Mike Lee of Utah and thus one of their colleagues, it will make it harder to dismiss him as an ‘extremist’. They’ll try, of course, but he’s generally well liked. R’s may have to go nuclear, but I’m fine with that since Republicans never mount opposition to Dem appointments anyway, so losing the filibuster for the supreme court is meaningless to us.
Mike Lee supported the CubaNadian, stabbed the President-Elect throughout the primaries and is a a##hole buddy of the other backstabber, Romney. The Court doesn't need another snake masquerading as a constitutional conservative. It already has the precious, shameless, fraud, Roberts.
