but if we allow Democrats to vote with the gop on this they surely will. Right now it is 50 to 49 we only need one republican to vote against this to stop this nomination if Democrats stick to together. Democrats voting for this nominee lets the 2 pro choice republicans off the hook. Then there is Dean Heller who is not in a primary if we get to September and he is behind in the polls he might vote against this nomination in an attempt to save himself either that or he just decides he going lose anyway and therefore votes to confirm. Still it's worth a shot.
