We wouldn't be so desperate to get our guy in there in the first place. It wouldn't be that big of a deal to drop our guy and select another. They want Kavanaugh partly for the same reason Putin wanted his bitch elected president. Someone owns his ass over the gambling debt and whatever other dirt they have on him. He gets on the court and they control the seat.
