However, word is they are really going through with it.
There is scuttlebutt that Republicans don't have the votes for the nuclear option right now. Not sure if that is true, but it makes a little more sense that Dems would filibuster it if it is.

Really stupid question, but how long would they have to filibuster to block the nomination?

They would be asking for a primary challenge if they voted against it provided there are not enough democrat votes for Gorsuch.

You wanna talk about political suicide. Those Repubs would be primaries in a heartbeat.
And where did you even get this Info from?

People are misreading the situation based on last Friday. Decision Desk is usually solid on numbers and they put out an update this evening saying the Repubs have 50 or 51 votes.

If the GOP doesn't go nuclear over Gorsuch, they should all be fricking shot.
