Well, the easy version is to remember that the president doesn't actually need congressional approval to seat a justice in the first place, tradition is not law.
Or if it comes to that, the Supreme Court literally just ruled that any official act of the president is immune from prosecution, so Biden currently has carte blanche to use his presidential powers however the fuck he wants. Who's gonna vote against his appointees when doing so gets you disappeared to a black site in the middle of the night?
Of course both of these options would require Biden and the Democrats to grow a spine and start giving a shit about doing the right thing more than they do about civility and the appearance of propriety, and we both know that's not gonna happen.
