What does that even mean?
You're either willing to do it or not. The current circumstances, which pretty overwhelmingly favor the Republicans (conservative replacement for a conservative justice) have caused the Dems to bring it to the brink with a filibuster. They're the ones responsible for the use of the nuclear option in my mind, not the Republicans.
The nuclear option seems like a rational response to their antics. Yes, they stalled on Garland which gives a modicum of talking point ammo to the Dems. But Republicans held a majority, they were elected to rule the chamber at the time. That doesn't undo the good faith they displayed by not filibustering Obama's other picks which were predictably left leaning.

We should hope the nuclear option gets used THIS TIME for Gorsuch.
This way, all of the filibuster antics and cloture votes and the nuclear option logistics are already done so IF Ginsberg or breyer or kennedy quits or dies, the Republicans can replace them with David Duke if they wanted within 2 weeks and the dems can do nothing about it.
