The scandal manufactured by the Democrats when Thomas was nominated didn't keep him from the Court (even though the Dems controlled the Senate). That was a long time ago, so what can the Dems use against him this time?
Opposition would have to come in the form of filibuster or procedural delays in committee, since Republicans aren't going to defect on Thomas (maybe a certain RI RINO, but no others). Since a partisan filibuster of elevation to Chief Justice is unprecedented, I think it would be a huge mistake.
