No on both fronts. The Republican Party is hell-bent on electoral Armageddon.

I voted no to both, but it's tough to predict what will happen if Clinton wins in November.

It's weird how unconcerned the senate GOP is about getting a 45 year old liberal Scalia next winter with a Trump nomination.

I'm not sure that someone like Liu could be confirmed even if Dems take back the Senate. There are a handful of red state Dems (Donnelly, Manchin, McCaskill, Tester, Heitkamp) who might vote against a really liberal nominee.

Yeah, especially with the 60 vote rule still in effect for SCOTUS nominations. There is literally no scenario in which Republicans won't filibuster.

Which is exactly why the Democrats would do well to nuke the filibuster as soon as Trump hands them the Senate again.
