Both parties deserve blame for worsening the judicial confirmation process. One of the few times its accurate to say both sides. But do you really think McConnell would've let Dems block Gorsuch indefinitely if only Reid had let GOP block lower court judges indefinitely?

Inevitable? Nonsense. Everyone's responsible for their own decisions, including each escalation in the judicial confirmation wars. I've heard the same argument from would-be court packers. No choice after what Republicans did to Garland. Of course there's a choice.

Of course it was inevitable. It became so the moment Schumer capitulated to "the resistance" and filibustered Gorsuch. Reid set the precedent. Precedents are there to be applied.

Reid was just following the McConnell precedent of filibustering every Obama nom and refusing to deal when threatened with nuclear option. When Dems were threatened with it, they cut a deal and confirmed some Bush noms Can always roll the calendar back, blame others See my point?
