6. If he picks a Senator (Hatch, Cornyn, etc), we're screwed
You can take this to the bank: the Dems in the Senate will not filibuster another Senator's nomination to the Supreme Court. Period. End of discussion. And the gang of 14 would not regard their agreement as being applicable if an attempt was made to filibuster another Senator's nomination. The agreement of the Gang of 14 stated: "Nominees should only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in determining whether such circumstances exist." It would go against the culture of the Senate to attack one of their own.
