Quote:Quite the opposite is the truth. If the Democrats fail to use the filibuster now, then when the next right-wing nut is nominated for the Court, and the Democrats filibuster THAT one, the Repugs will just use the nuclear option THEN.

The Democrats have lost all spine, guts and "a pair" if they don't filibuster Gorsuch. And then they also ratify what the Repugs did with Garland.

Y'alls funeral. I don't think McConnell wants to pull the trigger, and if you don't think they could find somebody more objectionable than Gorsuch...
Careful what you wish for.
