This is quickly becoming Borkanaugh.
"...The crude machinations of Senator Feinstein, which now follow belated disclosures that the former head of the (Senate Intelligence Committee had hired a Chinese spy...) as her chauffeur and gofer for 20 years at a time her husband had extensive business interests in China, have sadly nearly ruined her reputation in the twilight of her career. For months, she banked an anonymous complaint, and kept it hidden from both the soon-to-be-accused and the Senate committee at large."
. . . at this point, IMHO, the least worst resolution would be for McConnell to call the question at the next session of the full Senate.The remaining members of POTUS Trumps list of potential nominees should immediately form a union by sending out an open letter to the Senate with the joint commitment that none of them needs the job. And that, therefore, the confirmation process will be dignified, as befits a SCOTUS justice.
The nominee will not do anything more towards obtaining confirmation than answering written interrogatories from senators, will not appear on television, and will not allow his/her name to remain in consideration if the senate or any of its committees holds televised hearings about the nomination.
