It will be decidedly more difficult. They don't accept Trump nominees because he has handpicked them to overturn Roe v Wade. He has said this multiple times on camera, and the Federalist Society vetted them, and it's one of their priorities. You remember when they tried to stop Kavanaugh before they had these accusations, and they used Roe v Wade as their argument? They couldn't even get their own red state Dems to vote against him for that, much less Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski. If ACB were nominated, their main line of attack would be that, and that she's too religious and wouldn't separate church from state. That wouldn't work either, as most Republicans are Christian, and none of them are non-religious. Most of the arguments Dems make when they don't have criminal accusations are either about them being too biased towards conservatives, which doesn't work because the Supreme Court has been too politicized and no one cares about that anymore, or some specific decision they'd make on a particular issue, which doesn't work either because we're too polarized as a nation and there isn't a single issue that unites member cross-party.
