The one positive for the Dems in this regard is McCain. He may not be up to voting and he will certainly demand a more moderate, though certainly more conservative than the Dems would like, candidate.
Did they blow up the filibuster for Gorsuch? I couldn't remember. I'm okay with a conservative Justice, as Kennedy is a conservative. It should just be more in line with Kennedy.
