Democrats looking to block Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick have a surprisingly large array of weapons they can employ in that effort. The Senate is particularly well suited to the task of obstructing and interfering with the process because of its long history in which built-in delays, procedures, and rules slow down the mechanisms of government to a crawl.

The Senate isn’t known for being “The Greatest Deliberative Body in the World” for nothing.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may have the 50 votes needed to confirm Trump’s choice, but the situation is complicated enormously by the proximity to the election. If McConnell is going to get to a confirmation vote on the floor, he’s going to need all GOP hands on deck as there are almost certainly going to be numerous procedural roll call votes that Democrats are going to demand.
