If we can confirm a Justice with 51 votes, then we can repeal a failed medical care law with 51 votes. If we're going nuclear, lets make it count.
The democrats started this game by creating Obamacare without even one republican vote and without any constitutional foundation. Perhaps they need to learn that such games have no winner - the only way to win is not to play. Even a VERY messy end is better than keeping socialized medicine forever. They won't try that again!
