    So basically since the popular thing is to hate trump his approval rating is going to stay low on principal. So it means nothing

    Enticing the GOP to go nuclear just gave the GOP a "golden ticket" for the next nominee. It seems like the democrats are hedging their bet that Ginsburg is alive in 3 1/2 years. Considering she's 84, I'm thinking the law of averages will probably hit her sooner than that. The GOP in essence will control the supreme court for the next 20 years.

    This a great point. I think both sides are gambling on this. If she goes the year before the next presidential election the democrats would have actually been in a great position with the filibuster and it would have been a really bad look right before an election for republicans to get rid of it then. Maybe they are playing chess.
    the democrats could also take back the senate in 2018 even with the map as it is.

    trump's 35% approval is not going up anytime soon
    I'm embarrassed to ask this but, what does an approval rating mean? Is it just a popularity vote? What would a 10% approval rating mean, the president is getting fired? Does it mean anything at all?
    It means the president isn't governing for the people.

    you do realize the democrats had 100 lower level court picks filibustered in 4 years when they did that.

    Yes, 100. More than half of the total number in history

    First guy selected by GOP, nuke it.

    Great false equivalency as always
    They changed the rule in 2003 to block Bush judges but still

    This is what happens when you run in the house with scissors. Someone loses an eye.

    Agree. The Democrats deserved this and Gorsuch belongs on the Supreme Court.
    I hate up voting Sven but he's right.
