I'm concerned this may be the hail mary play. If Ben Sasse and Mitt Romney are possibly willing to vote No on ACB, then the Democrats only need a couple clinch votes to ensure she doesn't get nominated. If the Republican Senate can't secure a nomination for ACB just 2 weeks before the election, I could see it demoralizing a lot of the voter base into not showing up on November 3rd across multiple states, and that could swing the electoral college.
I watched over 20 hours each of both the Kavanaugh and ACB nomination hearings. Between the two, Democrats were by far more disruptive during the Kavanaugh hearings. Remember two years ago how many protesters had to be escorted out on the first day, during the first hour? I personally counted over 30 individual disruptions. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Blumenthal specifically spoke over Grassley -- out of turn -- and demanded a vote to disband the hearings. We didn't see any of that this year with ACB. All the Democrats really did was they made their litigant point on the Affordable Care Act and questioned her ability to be impartial regarding any cases that arose with regard to the ACA or Trump and the election. That could be because they're somewhat confident that she's not going to get nominated in the first place. I'm not 100% certain, but it's just a thought that I wanted to get out here.

The Democrats knew ACB was a done deal. I will be very shocked if it's not.
The RINOs still want a conservative court even if Biden wins.
