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?

We can't know for sure, of course. But if Dems tried to keep the seat open indefinitely, filibustering anyone Trump nominated, I'd doubt GOP would've just let it go. One reason we know this: GOP threatened nuclear option last time Dems tried mass filibusters, and Dems cut a deal

Unfortunately, neither of us can predict a hypothetical world's events. And the Dems didn't cut a deal. The Gang of 14 did. And part of the deal entailed killing a few nominations in exchange for confirming others. So it wasn't really the best deal from the GOP's POV.
