Republicans panicked when it seemed the court would turn liberalI think your right. I just highly doubt it's a good development. You can't really put the genie back in the bottle. I'm also of the opinion that putting Kavanaugh on the bench is shortsighted from the GOP's side. Not only are they seemingly preparing to put someone on the bench that will keep on being controversial long after this confirmation process is done. Not only are they risking to lose moderate woman for a generation. They are letting the Supreme Court open for all kinds of request for recusals whenever he has to judge ANYTHING that involves politics. It seems a modest gain and a high price. Since the GOP has other candidates and will likely hold on to the senate.It will be a long time before we see another moderate judgeIn all honesty I hope not. Judges who are selected for there extreme partisan views don't make for the most evenhanded court system.Nuclear option is now the norm
Republicans will have to live with it
They have established a new norm that they will not be happy with
Covered already

Why do Conservatives struggle so much with equivalencies ???
