If there was some secret way for the Senate minority to stop confirmations that have a simple majority I'd think Schumer or McConnell would have figured it out by now — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine And what about getting a Republican or three? Here's what Collins said in an interview this afternoon. Will keep her powder dry "until the hearings are held and until I get a chance to talk personally with the nominee and do my research on his or her record." — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats envision Biden admin doing major SCOTUS legwork given 50-50 Senate Shaheen: "I can’t imagine that the administration won’t have consulted with people and come up with somebody who will have broad support among the caucus." @marianne_levine https://t.co/IzDQnl2L3w — PolitiTweet.org

More on timing. Senate's SCOTUS confirmation could be quick, possible Dems explore confirming Breyer's replacement before end of term but seat replacement after term @marianne_levine Oh, and a SCOTUS confirmation has never happened in a 50-50 Senate https://t.co/IzDQnl2L3w — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer weighs in on SCOTUS timeline “President Biden’s nominee will receive a prompt hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and will be considered and confirmed by the full United States Senate with all deliberate speed.” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

It's hard to imagine BBB reboot going past the spring anyway, so Breyer's retirement seems likely to unlock a summerish confirmation process given when the term ends Plenty of moving pieces here, but Breyer staying through term makes for a longer runway for confirmation — PolitiTweet.org

@aedwardslevy and if the confirmation gets tricky could be BREYER PATCH — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

From Manchin to Sanders, the whole Dem Caucus has been very supportive of Biden's nominees. There have been a few "no" votes but the biggest defeats were Chipman/ATF and Tanden/OMB. Manchin has supported I believe all of Biden's judges Pretty remarkable for 50/50 Senate — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

It's not going to be easy by any stretch, but Democrats can confirm anyone Biden wants to SCOTUS as long as they get full party unity in the 50-50 Senate. Manchin never voted on Obama's SCOTUS nominees, wanted Garland to be considered and voted for 2 of Trump's 3 -- against ACB — PolitiTweet.org

Good look from @marianne_levine on how Senate Democrats are using the GOP's rule change to pursue faster judicial confirmations and keeping GOP's "blue slip" precedent for Circuits. Will become more and more important as Dems defend 50-50 Senate majority https://t.co/VEbypIew2F — PolitiTweet.org

Merkley is allied with Bernie and endorsed him for president -- but Merkley breaks W/ Bernie on whether to go after Manchin and Sinema after last week. “I have absolutely no interest in that conversation,” he said. “I want to come back and have conversations with our colleagues' — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Republicans may capitalize first on Democrats’ plan to weaken the filibuster's 60-vote threshold. And that’s OK with Merkley. “Yes! ... the test of whether this is fair is whether you will support it when you’re in the minority. Put those shoes on. How would you feel?” — PolitiTweet.org

Meet the mild-mannered progressive who's breaking the filibuster: Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley. “He must be being fed intravenously. Because he’s just living on peanut sandwiches and working around the clock,” says fellow Oregonian Ron Wyden https://t.co/0EUJdZhpqV — PolitiTweet.org
