Dickinson quotes Grover Norquist: “There’s the frustration that comes from impotence, because there’s nothing they can do. She’s going to get confirmed. And they don’t know what she’ll do when she is.” I’m not convinced that she is going to get confirmed. The odds certainly favor her at the moment, but she does not strike me as unbeatable. For that reason among others, neither criticism nor support is pointless.
