I think the dems will blink and back off a filibuster vote....

Gorsuch simply puts the court back to a 5 - 4

When a justice retires or dies, it’s likely to be a liberal...

I think the dems will die on the hill to try and stop from having a 6 -3 court...

Yeah, I think the Dems will put on this one after their usual theatrics. There is no racial angle to this one. And what the Dems really want to do is engage President Trump directly in a tit for tat food fight.

They better get used to the idea, Trump is not going to give them a liberal justice.

“Gorsuch simply puts the court back to a 5 - 4”

Agree, they got pretty much everything they wanted with the court as it was. Yes they are bitter because they came within a hair of moving the court FAR left for a decade but Trump won so this is just status quo. Now if
one of the Rats leave look out total war.

It is likely that Thomas and perhaps Kennedy will step up and retire.
