I mean Gorsuch is pretty right leaning, but he's not a crazy judge. He is VERY well respected, and thus, I agree, the Dems should sort of let this one go and focus on the more dangerous stuff. It's not like he is Clarence Thomas part 2, and hell he even seems more reasonable then the man he is replacing, does it kind of suck? Sure, could it be worse...oh yeah! Yes, it's BS that the GOP did this to Obama, but at some point the Dems need to be the ones who act like adults in the room. Lose the battle, win the war etc. The Nuclear option would be an unmitigated disaster and we could get some pretty radical choices for the bench in the future (i.e a Thiel or worse) also that swings both ways as well. It's sad how political SCOTUS nominations are, like this is seriously the ONE area where both sides should come together and pick the overall best, most well respected and honorable choice.
