They would be destroyed if they tried to filibuster Janice Rogers Brown. She's a minority, a female, was a single mother, grew up poor and was a Supreme Court justice in California. Plus- they already confirmed her for the federal bench. Democrats would go down in flames if they filibustered her.
Predicting this sort of thing is always difficult.

I've stated my reasons for my opinion, and you've stated yours. Both have merit.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
