I'm pretty torn over it, to be honest. I think Gorsuch is more than qualified, and a suitable replacement for Scalia. But I don't really have a problem with Dems playing politics with it since Republicans did the same thing over Garland, who was also more than qualified. It's a stupid precedent, but that's where we are.
As to which time to do it. I guess just go ahead and get it out of the way. Can't see into the future to see if the option is still on the table when the next vacancy comes open.

Dude, if democrats force the nuclear option and RBG dies under a republican POTUS thereafter, it will be one of the most retarded and counter productive political ploys in american history.
Why risk being completely powerless in that moment for a revenge play which are usually shortsighted in politics btw?
I get democrats are angry over Garland but they have to get over it and adjust to the reality of the current situation and plan accordingly.

Did the Republicans play politics over Sotomayor and Kagan?
