Sad as it is, I don’t see the GOP allowing someone to be confirmed to the position. It’s just not going to happen. This is too good of a GOTV issue for them. They will be able to mobilize all of their terrified regressive legions with the prospect of a liberal being appointed.

Even sadder is that the idea of another Scalia being appointed won’t likewise motivate liberals to get off their *** and go to the polls.
