Withdraw from the judicial war to gain allies in the administrative war? I'm skeptical too.

If they are not political idiots (some are, to be fair) they'll realize they have no choice but to filibuster.

anyone who isn't a trump voter or on a novocaine drip wants blood right now.

"Democrats seem to have a harder time w obstructionism than Republicans”? Bork Estrada Gang of 14 What’s sky color in your world?
@rickhasen -
Bork got a vote, as did sexual predator Clarence Thomas. Garland obstruction was disgraceful.
-
Bork & Thomas got lies & character assassination
@MTfromCC@rickhasen Garland should be thankful he got neither Because GOP better than Dems -
GOP brought obstruction of the President to disgusting new heights over last 4 years. Hypocrites.
-
No, GOP brought “obstruction” of Obama to the exact same level Obama & Dems brought to Bush Justice Deal with it

I have post going up today on the history of this, noting most Senate Dems tried to filibuster Alito (ie, it's not about Garland)
-
JHA...the obvious difference is that Alito is substantively terrible on many issues. Civil rights, 1st & foremost.
-
you're making my point. Call for filibuster is not principled response to treatment of Garland. It's about ideology.

Seems striking to me that there is no way this is how this nomination would be framed if the shoe was on the other foot. "Why
-
filibuster? This guy's the nominee of a Manchurian candidate put in place by Putin!" Rs would have submitted impeachment articles
-
And you'd blog a well-reasoned rundown of the arguments. CNN would cover it like mad... And it'd spill over, affecting everything
-
It'd be covered/dominate & define discourse. RW media would ensure it be the approach taken. Media + GOP=democratic death spiral.

Republicans have a clear mandate: get results, get them now, or get gone. The filibuster must diehttp://dailycaller.com/2017/01/31/the-filibuster-must-die/#ixzz4XU3ya195 …

The costs of filibustering are real, and important. But it's suicide if they don't. I made the case here: http://charlesolney.com/2017/01/democratic-party-crossroads-advice-rebuilding-democracy/ …
