They want their white Christian conservative on the court. Nothing else matters. He's the right skin color and religion.

Committee vote is 930 tomorrow. Saturday is the procedural vote to end the debate and proceed to the confirmation vote. Earliest they can vote to confirm, if the procedural vote passes Saturday, is Monday I believe. If the procedural vote passes, then expect the same vote, or more, for confirmation.

Even without the possibility of a filibuster, there’s still a requirement (absent unanimous consent) for 30 hours of debate after the cloture vote... so they need to get that clock ticking.
