Bi-partisan support , that’s the scary concept he’s alluding to. The nominees would have to be qualified enough for bi-partisan support.
-
Bingo. Amazing how we've completely moved past the point of requiring judges to receive bipartisan support and now it's just about having full power.
-
It seems like it was a lifetime ago that you had to have 60 votes. Like it was designed to be difficult to confirm someone on partisan lines.
-
Right, because a judge at the highest level *should* have to be unbiased and able to be approved by both sides.

It would be a scary prospect to automatically affirm judges with clear bias, as Kavanaugh showed, to any court. Let's just
#voteblue and nominate judges who deserve the position; or is that too radical for you Mitch?#GOPCorruption#SenateThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Not scarier than the prospect was for Merrick Garland who wasn't even allowed a confirmation hearing.

So, say, Merrick Garland were put before the senate, the GOP would skewer him, just for spite?
