It took only 72 hours for this to begin.
The GOPe-led Republican Party is totally beyond repair. The best thing for the long term advance of True Conservatism is the utter and total political annhiliation of the Republican Party.
The path is inevitible. The Republican Senators will hem and haw, draw multiple lines in the sand, and acquiesce on each one of them. In the end, they will be monumentally unpopular with the American people. They will either look weak before caving to Obama, or they will be tagged with racial or other nefarious motives if they do not execute their Constitutional role in approving the President’s nominee.
Most likely, in the end, there will be enough Republicans to break a fillibuster and confirm.
The best hope then, is that Republican Party suffers massive losses up and down the tickets. Let the Republican Party go through total political bloodbath in 2016 and watch the GOPe pols, poobahs, pundits, and operatives finally get their comeuppance!
Then watch an authentic and honest truly conservative grassroots movement spring up and take its rightful place.

Don't think so. If that happens, we officially become a one-party state.
Think USSR circa 1930: Hillary as 'Stalin in a pantsuit'. Only a matter of time until potential members of a 'honest truly conservative grassroots movement' get herded on railcars and shipped to the gulags.
We can hope to primary out some of the weak links, but in destroying the current Republican Party, you may just ensure that the only ruling party is the Democrats forever. I don't see any good results here. A strong, conservative Republican POTUS might provide leadership for the gutless, spineless, clueless congressional Republicans. But, I am afraid the current leaders in both House and Senate are worthless hacks with no ability other than cave and give the Donkeys everything they want. They will tell you they're doing this because POTUS is black and it is an election years so they don't want to antagonize the moderates and fence sitters by appearing confrontational. Grrrrrr.
That, at this point, would be turning the country permanently over to the Totalitarian Democrat Left. There will be no return short of bloody civil war which I do not expect to happen. Part of giving the Sultan his judge will be to get an Amnesty case to the Court very quickly, in weeks or months, and get Amnesty and Citizenship enshrined as an ironclad necessity required by some article or other. That gives the Democrats their universal majority vote for almost all national offices and will lead to shariah being Law in many cities.
