    They’d need to do what they do before bringing a bill to the floor. Make sure that they have the votes ahead of time.

    If you get one of those two people bought in on a particular justice candidate, then you could tell the current sitting Justice “it’s safe,” and you could fast-track the new person.

    That said, there is still risk of someone having a change of heart at the last minute.

      Yeah, I don’t get why people think they’d just YOLO this and find out how Manchinema would vote on the senate floor. If one of them isn’t locked in, then definitely don’t start it, but maybe Sinema, for all her mercenary ways, might think abortion actually did matter and a 7-2 court is just dumb.
