There are republicans, too many of them, who will jump ship if it comes to a nuclear option vote. The nominee will then fail.

I think we need to walk down that road to prove that point.

But meanwhile the swing vote on the Court would remain tilted to the anti-God side.

It's in God's hands. We have long prayed for God to heal the Supreme Court. But considering the hateful behavior of Christians this past month, it could be that His healing will be to swing the Court hard to the left with yet another "Souter" - so that His own people will understand what happens when they choose self-will instead of seeking His will.

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind ... Hosea 8:7

You make a sobering point: perhaps this will put a stealth Souter onto the court.

Nonetheless, I still think it makes sense to demonstrate what the real republican senatorial support looks like. I'm pretty sure that there are 11 who will not support a hardline approach to this nomination.

That means we get......something moderate?

I like to call it short-sightedness.
