“The problem with [the save the firepower] argument is that it’s delusional to believe that Mitch McConnell—who prevented Merrick Garland from even receiving a hearing—would allow Democrats to filibuster the next Supreme Court vacancy if they allow Gorsuch to go through. If Justice Kennedy or a liberal justice like Ginsburg or Breyer stepped down and Republicans had the ability to overturn landmark laws like Roe v. Wade with a 6-to-3 vote, they would do everything in their power to make it happen and wouldn’t blink for a second about going nuclear.”

I absolutely agree with the Dems using the filibuster when they did, even though there was no doubt about the outcome. What the GOP Senators did to Judge Garland was unprecedented and just plain WRONG. Currently all the Dems can do is make a stand on principle, but that stand needed to be taken, and it’s just one of many battles to come. McConnell is treacherous and untrustworthy beyond any shadow of a doubt, the the author is 100% right on in the assertion that if he didn’t nuke this time, he absolutely would next time. Might as well make everyone completely show their true colors. And remember that what goes around comes around.

You think RBG can stay alive for 8 more years? I wonder about Kennedy, too. Replacing those two with originalists would be a dream come true.
We’ll see. The time window could also be less than 2 years rather than 8.
If it’s two years, that means Pence will be doing the picking, and I’d much prefer The Donald do the picking, if I had to choose. I’m guessing social liberals would agree, given the choice of those two deciders.
Or if it’s 2 years it could be that the Dems rode a backlash midterm to control of Congress.
If the prospect of a conservative replacing RBG doesn’t motivate liberals to vote next year, nothing will.
Also Bill, do you truly think Trump is really doing the picking here, given how he blows off all the hard work of Presidenting? See the half-assed attempt for AHCA as the latest evidence of his laziness.
