Dems will vote for someone slightly to the right, I guarantee it. [for the Supreme Court]

But the Republicans chose not to get rid of the Supreme Court nominee filibuster for this session, so Democrats can hold out for somebody who is not too right-wing if they want. They have to change the rules first thing, before any other business and they didn't.

Democrats could even announce that they will only assent to Merrick Garland!
