And two of those 53 weren’t excited about the possibility.

Now we’re talking about a clearly political move right after the electorate said they want the other guys making those decisions and we don’t know that we actually have 51 votes to do it.

Trying this is more likely to give Trump another judge than to lock down her seat.
