Suppose that's true. Suppose that the Democratic Senate could have removed those roadblocks by a majority vote, but chose not to. Suppose that McConnell had 55 votes to confirm Gorsuch, but not 60. Is there any doubt in your mind that McConnell would have removed the roadblock and confirmed Gorsuch?

If the roadblock still existed, is there any doubt in your mind that McConnell would get rid of it now to confirm a justice to replace RBG? Or would say, oh well, I guess I'll let Biden appoint a new justice instead?

Hmm, it's a stumper.
