-- not just a spine, they need some guts too, & they need to grow a pair. They doubtless need some other body parts too, but those are the ones l can think of off the  top of my head

Reality check: Gorsuch will be approved one way or another.  Given that, what is the right response to show indignation at the "stolen seat", while minimizing damage?  Of the options available, this guy is at least firmly located on Planet Earth.  But acquiescence shows as weakness with the GOP as it currently exists.  A good option: Schumer allows a few votes less than the number to reach 60, and forces the nuclear option.  McDonnell follows suit, and 2018 is off and running.

The downside: at least one more Justice may decide that now is the right time to retire, giving Trump two young conservative appointments.  Of course, that would happen in any case.  The nuclear option is available for use at any time.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
