I know as you pointed out the toxicity of Capitol Hill this approach would've been polarizing there, but I have to believe that he would've been appointed and that it had the opportunity to have a galvanizing effect and not have the dividing effect that it will.

I suggest you read the Susan Collins speech, there are a litany of facts about the circus, but most importantly their is a clear record of his judicial record. You may be surprised and find yourself agreeing with his decisions on important cases.
