Bad deal. Gorsuch is a good nominee and has won over several Dems already. The GOP doesn't have anything to win from this and everything to lose as any more nominees will be filibustered.

The only possible positive I can see is that RBG might see the filibuster option as a means to ensure another Conservative originalist doesn't make it to the court and thus might increase her likelihood of stepping down before she's carried out.

Another thing to consider is the possibility the the GOP picks up a few more senate seats in 2018. Many of the (D) seats that are up for election then are in districts or states that went for Trump.

A filibuster threat wont matter if there are 60+ GOP senators.
