But Chuck Schumer has gotten behind the idea of filibustering the nomination.

Let the Democrats filibuster, but they hare going to have to get up and TALK, not just bluff as they have done in the past. After two or three weeks, the Democrats shall have all talked themselves hoarse, and wandered far from the subject at hand. At which time, if the cloture vote cannot be secured, then allow the vote to proceed, and if Neil Gorsuch does not clear that hurdle, use the nuclear option, blowing up the filibuster rule once and for all. Next stop, majority vote only on all votes before the Senate, with only those exceptions spelled out in the Constitution.
