I think the Federalist Society approach is reasonable when dealing with a large number of lower court appointments, but the Supreme Court is another matter. The Right can’t afford to get it wrong with the Supreme Court because the Left hasn’t had an unreliable justice on the bench since Byron White stepped down in 1993.

Today's lower court appointee is tomorrow's federal circuit court justice or SC nominee. Gorsuch's breathtaking legislation-from-the-bench calls into question all of the Federalist Society-approved judges McConnell has gotten confirmed in such a frenzy over the last 3 and a half years - how many of them agreed with Gorsuch's ruling? How many cases will ever be brought before the Supreme Court - those judges rulings will set precedent and go unchallenged for decades. We need to look for real, activist right-wing justices to counteract a virulent left-wing judiciary, not the "will he or won't he betray us" milksops we keep getting.
