There are 54 Republican senators (or is it 53?)
Reports are that two or more won't play along.
So we'll see.

Frankly, I think the administration will be hard-pressed to find a
candidate unqualified enough to suit them, but we'll see about that, too.

Two things of note:
there were demonstrations at Chez McConnell last night,
and
a friend in DC tells me Kaddish was read on the steps of the Supreme Court
last light. Hundreds participated.
