This would be in a bright spotlight, though, and the potential effect on the election of the open politicization of the Supreme Court is even more frightening than the thought of its being in limbo for more, possibly way more, than a year.

But on the other hand, it would put them at risk of Hillary's winning and possibly carrying the Senate along with her, particularly with the possibility of Trump going indy and splitting their vote not out of the question. Wouldn't that be a kick in the head, not to mention the grand-daddy of all failed gambles?

But if that's truly where they stand, I'll pay for Clarence Thomas's seat next to Scalia on Charon's ferry.
