How does filling one conservative seat with another conservative change the makeup of the Court Hank? If anything, it keeps the status quo. And like I said, a liberal justice is going to have to retire or die before the current makeup is actually changed.

Dems can still use the standing Fillibuster as well. All they need to do is wind up one of the junior senators, order the pizza and bring in the cots again. The last successful one only took 15 hours.
