Should we stop to consider whether the Supreme Court nominations are worth the scorched-earth tactics the Republicans have employed over the last two years? 

  • Sidelining the filibuster bothers me less than last years' obstruction of Garland, which was a partial government shutdown.  Neither nominee strikes me as catastrophic.  I'm a Never-Trumper but was not looking forward to a Hillary-packed court.  2016 election was the worst choice in my lifetime.
