I'd respect the Dems if they said "We don't dislike the current nominee, but we cannot in good conscience vote for him when the previous nominee never even got a hearing due to political games played by our colleagues in the Republican party."

Then vote no, he passes through anyway probably, and they made their point.

I'm with Matt.  This is no different than if there was no opening on the court.  It will stay the same for now.

Maybe it would work to do it that way.  Just seems the base would want a fight.
