I have been a proponent of the nuclear (or, "nuke-you-lur"!) option, but your arguments make some sense. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the mechanics of a full-blown filibuster to carry on an informed conversation. I disagree with premise #1, though. I think the public would support the president and the Republican senators in a flame war with the media.

you may be right about number 1, and with radio and the internet, you have a very strong case, but if my 1 is wrong, wouldn't it be better for the future of the Courts if this high stakes battle were played out right before the election so it was fresh on the voter's minds?

Similar to a bill which would push income tax day to right before the elections...
