I can’t see Dems doing that. They don’t have the popular support for something like that, let alone the courage.
What they should do is physically barricade the Capitol. I’m not really joking. It will come to that.
My first guess of the most action they will take:
Staging a walk-out of the vote.
- sjg007 6y agoThey will.
- anonAndOn 6y agoI think we're about to see some of the more arcane rules of debate in the Senate take center stage: repeated quorum calls, filibuster, cloture, etc. I suspect this will not go down without a fight.
- tyre 6y agoFilibuster was abolished for SCOTUS nominations. There was nothing procedurally that Democrats could have done to stop Kavanaugh. If there were, they would have. They cannot stop this nomination by traditional means.
- stevehawk 6y agoA walkout? That wouldn't do anything. There's 53 sitting Republicans. That's enough to confirm a nomination.
