I don't, simply because there's zero evidence Collins, McCain etc would vote any other way next time.
The die is cast. Though I expect J. Gorsuch to be awful for progressives, I think filibuster is a strategic mistake. http://electionlawblog.org/?p=91762

Your point re: ideological balance is premised on wrong counterfactual. Gorsuch doesn't replace Scalia; he replaces Garland.

I agree that it's a mistake, and I'm glad they're making it. (I'm hopeful that Gorsuch will be my 2nd favorite justice after Thomas.)

Either we get screwed now, or screwed later. I see 0 benefit in postponing the inev. At least now we can point to the Garland injustice.

No way Republicans would behave differently the next time. If anything, the opportunity to tip the balance = extra motivation.

Also, how would a tepid approach help Democrats win elections in 2018? Quite the opposite!

That's an excellent piece.

Thank you!
