Is there a likelihood that enough Republicans could be swayed to vote against him, should he prove too far right from the mainstream?
The same kinds of checks that exist with a Dem President and a Dem Senate. They vet you, they question you, they have hearings and then they confirm you. It’s the presidents choice, and the senate should just make sure the nominee is qualified and sane. And yes I was against the Republicans holding up Obama’s last pick.
