Simple - if Republican Senators refuse to vote for the President's nominee, punish the party next year by stripping it of its Senate majority. If these Senators do not want to please their President and the voters who elected them, perhaps being in the minority will help to concentrate their minds.

Brilliant strategy. When you lose the majority in the Senate, you lose the ability to get anything passed, plus you give the democrat Senators a platform for televised investigations, which we would have wall to wall.

There is more at stake than a Supreme Court nomination. Please try to think beyond one issue.

...perhaps being in the minority will help to concentrate their minds.

As chickensh*t as they are with a majority, would they even notice a difference?

Tempting.
But we'd better apply the coup de grace while the rat is cornered before we go chasing after neutered elephants.

Simple.....lets cut off our nose to spite our face. Who are we punishing by allowing the other party to be elected?

Pursue that strategy...and we will be embroiled in Impeachment hearings for the next two years.

Right now, the American people would be mad. But with a willing media, the opinions of the average American would eventually come around, we proudly have another "self inflicted" VietNam on our hands.

And...we would not have another Republican majority for fifty years.

You may think I'm exaggerating...but honestly I am not. That is our oppositions strategy. And they have the tools to make it happen once they achieve a majority.
