Senate Democrats have votes to block Gorsuch

quote [ Mitch McConnell reiterates that he's prepared to kill the filibuster to get the high court nominee confirmed. ]

Looks like the Democrats may have found their spine.
Still TBD: whether this is really a good idea.

New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin on what's the matter with Gorsuch

Considering what's happening elsewhere in the world, I really wish they'd stop referring to killing the filibuster as 'the nuclear option'.

Whatever we call it, ending the filibuster will change the Senate forever.

It seems possible to me that AMK is less likely to retire under Trump if the filibuster is gone.
