Say the leftists scuttle the nominee and they only get 49 votes. And then the republicans gain 3-4 seats in the senate. Could they just bring the nominee back and vote again?

They need a majority to scuttle the nominee. They don't have it unless some R's defect. That seems unlikely.
But yes. A person could be re-nominated.

Somehow that does not strike me as something Sen. Hatch would indulge in. Ze is too much of a traditionalist. Why change now?
Hatch may be a traditionalist, but I bet his press attache is 34 years old.

Sorry it won't be Amy Coney Barrett. Sooner or later, yes. For now, she can do some good, where she is.
I'm getting all twitterpated, waiting for the announcement. Do eeeeeeet!

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams
“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken
