My question is what they do now. Does the judiciary committee simply refuse to hild confirmation hearings? Do they hold the hearings and just drag them out ad nauseum? Do they hold the hearings and reject him at the committee level (as happened with Bork) but then refuse to proceed to a full vote (which didn't happen with Bork)? Does the nominee go before the full senate but just get filibustered?
They just have a menu of obstructionist options...
