The Repugs yell and scream for awhile and then back down. Once they see the candidate the moderate Repugs up for election are not going to sit back and let their chances at winning in November slip away with this. They will vote up or down.

but if they hold to this line they would say they are doing their job in not confirming an "unsuitable" candidate. I don't agree with this tactic but it is constitutional.

Yes, they can obstruct if they wish. But there is an old saying: just because you can doesn't mean you should. President Obama knows what he's doing here. There will be a price to pay for continued "conservative" folly.

It's a pity so many erstwhile Democrats are of so little faith.
