Because we NEED that 9th justice seated to move along with the Judicial process.
Invoking the nuclear option screws the Dems enough, esp. when a future justice is nominated.
No, nothing to cause a delay. We cannot allow the SC to stay at 4-4 for a second longer. The 9th circus is the de facto SC. as long as there is a tie.
A real filibuster is more important - they cannot last.
