You have just established the canonical value of "waste of time".

Actually, by now I think even the rednecks in Wisconsin already realize that he doesn't know how to work his job. If Russ can survive until the election, this'll be one seat flipped.

Note: This is why Warren needs to stay in the Senate. Seniority. Next term, she will be twice as influential as this term. Etc.

In fact, most of them have retired (at a convenient time) rather than died in the saddle.

His real worry is that one of the circuits would rule against him, and then be "not-reversed" by 4-4. And which circuits would be likely to do that? Probably the conservative-leaning ones. This would be micro-karma.

A good many of those vacancies are in districts where the Republican senators involved have refused to even put forward a nominee.

What they've really been stalling hard are the circuit nominees.

At this point, if the Senate actually did its job and decided to hold confirmation hearings, it would cause a major news meltdown comparable to if Taylor Swift announced she's hiring Kanye to be her bitch on a leash, responsible for polishing her Grammys and shining her shoes. CNN would go into crisis mode and be assaulting us with 72 point BREAKING NEWS graphics and Wolf and Anderson both on the scene in DC, while on Fux Gnus they'd be playing funeral dirges with DildO'Reilly preparing to commit on-air hari-kari.
