I don’t think he does. Even Lindsey Graham has made clear he won’t vote for anyone substantially to the left of Orin Hatch. So President Obama will not be able to appoint a liberal to replace Scalia.
Then Hillary will. And when sane people have control of the senate again, the filibuster will end. That will be Mitch’s real legacy; breaking the hold his bosses from Kansas have on the Senate and the SCOTUS.
