Might want to think twice about that. The next Democratic President and Dem Senate could put a nominee left of Thurgood Marshall on the SC. Add the House and they could get Medicare for all.
What's to stop the Dems from doing this even if the Reps don't?

Their own experience. They know Reid screwed up. They won't give the GOP another gift like that.

Nothing
And I am convinced that they will, using the excuse that since we did it for SCOTUS that they are justified in doing so, despite the fact that the filibuster was not originally meant to be used for appointments , just legislation
Politics has always been mean and contentious, but it is worse now than it ever has been since the 1860's
On the surface, I agree with Sentrius, but I am starting to change my mind...
