8. There better not be a single Democrat voting for anyone he nominates.

Wednesday

And if this all happens after next November and we win the Senate, the Democratic Senators better block his nominees for the next two years.

Also, we just found out Swalwell's actions have been an open secret for years. You can't convince me there aren't a dozen republican Senators in the same position. Now would be a good time to twist some of their arms to vote with Democrats on this, Michael Corleone style. Pooh pooh the idea if you want, but since the alternative would be the demolition of the Supreme Court for a generation, we need to not be dainty in our sensibilities about this.
