How good is your math?
Republicans have 51 votes in the Senate, they can afford 1 defection, and 1 only.
How confident are you with;
McCain
Graham
Collins
Murkowski
To stand firm in changing the filibuster rule of 60 votes for nominees to the SCOTUS.
It would not surprise me in the least to see a GOP senator fail to support Gorsuch. I have no faith whatsoever in ANY elected official in Washington. You mean like from AZ? Schumer is a fine candidate for a nice piece of hickory.

These confirmation hearings are about 99% for [bleep] to posture and pretend they are earning their salaries and perks.
Some of them use it to display their stupidity - like DF presenting "super-precedent". WTF is that???? Then castigating G for - basically dodging questions -. Funny, I ain't too smart, but I understood him perfectly, and he didn't dodge anything. A little lawyereez, sure. But plain enough.
We all know G is in.

Do you think the threat of the Nuclear Option will force the dems hands? I can't imagine either party wanting the opposition to use it.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

Filibustering Forsuch is a serious, rookie level blunder.
Be not weary in well doing.

I agree with oldtrapper - I want to see them on record.
Even though I know how our NM liberal contingent will vote.
Pearce is the only shred of decency NM has in the legislature.

You are correct and both Schumer and McConnel know this. McConnel will not attempt a Nuclear Option vote as it will not pass thanks to McCain, Graham, Collins, Murkowski. Schumer holds all the card here thank to the RINO Trump-Haters in the Senate.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

There's no working with democrats. The democrats want the destruction of America so unless that's what republicans are willing to work with and towards there will be no compromise. Go nuclear and use every tool possible to relegate the democrats to insignificant oblivion. I truly hate liberals and don't care one iota for their feelings. F'ck them and their hatred of freedom. You're too kind... I'd nuke every one of the bastids if I ever got the chance....

They will simply have to change the law to permit a straight up and down vote.

AcesNeights: I am in agreement 100% with your post!

As an interesting aside I saw the blithering idiot lindsey graham on TV this morning BRAGGING how he had voted for ALL of barack hussein obamas Supreme Court and Appeals Court nominees (including sotomayor and kagan) and he felt the demonrats should return his gentlemanly gesture!
I mean I actually burst out laughing at the stupidity, ignorance and pathetic naivete this intellectual idiot constantly displays!
senator graham actually thinks that the demonrats "will play fair" this dippschidt has NO idea that the demonrats are a disciplined and relentless enemy of capitalism and America!
I actually do not expect the dimwit dumschidt graham to learn ANYTHING from this latest example of demonrat tactics.
lindsey graham and john mcCain should both be replaced ASAP.
There seems to be no end of rinos willing to stab the Republican electorate in the back at EVERY possible chance they get?
Sad.

They will simply have to change the law to permit a straight up and down vote. That's how it's done now. The issue is ending the debate/filibuster to get there.

Your math is wrong. They can afford 2 defections which would make it 50/50 and Pence would break the tie.
