Because there is no point in voting for a republican at that stage.

If they are so spineless, weak, and ineffective that they can't stand up, tell the Democrats to frick themselves, and get a preeminently qualified justice like Gorsuch approved, I'm done with them forever. Because there is no point for their existence. They will have become totally useless.

And I know I'm not the only one that will have had enough of them.

I don't see a logical, non-partisan reason why Democrats want to filibuster this. Gorsuch is a great choice and he is replacing Scalia, not Ginsburg.

So who will you vote for going forward? Democrats? Third party?

Or will you just not vote?

It's a slippery slope.

Even though he is qualified, I don't want the Dems to be able to do it with a terrible nominee down the road

Tactically I don't see why Dems are going to have this battle over Gorsuch.

If RBG (or one of the other liberals) dies, that would be the best time to force the Republicans to go nuclear. Also a decent chance Trump nominates someone more objectionable than Gorsuch there.

That is all just looking at the objective tactics here. I don't see how Republicans will look particularly bad going nuclear here.

What's the saying, don't brandish a weapon you wouldn't want used against you in the future, something like that.

I'm going to call BS. You will end up voting for a Republican again the minute a democrat threatens to raise your taxes or impose some other regulation that you don't like. You will just justify it by saying that the person you voted for wasn't in congress at the time Gorsuch was nominated or some other bs excuse

Relax. It was the most conservative fringe of the House that blew up healthcare. The usual pussies that normally derail this sort of thing seem ready to work.

Well be prepared to be disappointed.

When I was a tried and true Dem, I ALWAYS counted on the Repubs to either fold, or buy into the whole "let's make a deal" BS where Dems would promise one thing for "compromise" then never follow through later (essentially lie and laugh)
