Not sure there are many procedural options that would survive the McConnell wrecking ball if it comes to it.

(19,986 posts)Actually, it was exasperation rather than happiness. Did the Republican slamming through of Kavanaugh not indicate how currently helpless Democrats are in the Senate ? There were plenty of protests against that too, which got nowhere either. If an SC position became available before Nov 3rd, the GOP would use it as a bargaining chip with the US electorate. If it was after the election they would still ram it through anyway.
