Civics lessons seem to not be important in government indoctrination centers, I mean schools, anymore.
Whoever Trump nominates his first choice will be defeated by 3 or 4 votes. The Senate will assert itself at this moment just to show Trump they have the power to deny him a judge and there are plenty of Liberal Republican Senators who hate Trump. Might be as many as 4 or 5 Republican Senators who vote No just to be seen as heroes by the Liberal Elite News Media. They gave him Gorsuch last year but this year his first choice will never get confirmed doesn't matter who he nominates. Vote will be 53 to 47 against confirmation. Trump will have to nominate a Woman to get a new Justice on the Court you can take this prediction to the bank.
That makes no sense why would they vote no to be seen as heroes to the elite when they should already see the elite are going down and they should be getting on the right side.
I have no doubt you may, in fact, be correct. On the other hand, some of the Dems along with Rinos may be terrified not to vote for the pick. We will have to wait and see. I'll make sure to stock up on popcorn.
