IMO only, i have a feeling that this woman may be the sacrificial lamb who doesn't get confirmed, and then WHAMMO, Bush comes in with someone that is hardcore right wing, and with one nominee already denied, they (the Dems) will almost have to confirm the following nominee. Otherwise they look like they are obstructing the business of government. Its a strategy that may just work as well.
Too bad.

My understanding is that any nominee will be confirmed due to the numbers in the Senate and House, unless the Dem's decide to filibuster, which I can't see them doing for fear of the very possibility you bring up.
The thing that has me shaking my head is that he nominated someone for the Supreme Court who has
never been a judge before
