Come on folks, Gorsuch will be confirmed. I’m no fan of McConnell, but he will invoke the nuclear option if he has to, otherwise no conservative will ever be confirmed to the SC. Schemer has to do this because the lib base is crazy mad. My guess is that 8 Dems from red states invoke cloture nd this becomes a non-issue. This isn’t a fight that works to their benefit
I think you are right -- IF McConnell declares that he will invoke the Reid Option, I believe enough Democrats will vote to invoke cloture and thus preserve their options against future Supreme Court nominees.
Going all-in against Gorsuch is NOT in the Democrats' best interests. Delaying Gorsuch's confirmation until after the April appeals are heard IS in the Democrats' best interests. Their strategy is to "Throw Sand in the Gears of Everything."
