Hey, at least he didn’t nominate Gary Busey! Although, if he had, I’m sure Mitch McConnell would have found a way to confirm him.
In all seriousness, the guy is obviously well-qualified, and his views on jurisprudence are within the conservative mainstream, so under normal circumstances, I would have no problem supporting confirmation. These are not, however, normal circumstances. He will be occupying a seat that should have belonged to Merrick Garland, and the GOP should pay a price for that.
My advice to the Democrats is to avoid making it personal. State clearly on the record that the issue isn’t the nominee’s qualifications, but the GOP’s abuse of process, and go from there.
