if they come to some mutual agreement and the senate starts to move forward again i am for it. I have to expect any negotiations that get approved are better than the nuke option.

One or two judge loss does not lose a country. I expect they can find one or two just as qualified to replace any judge nomination they give up in negotiations.

Senators have lost control over their own actions. Most of them now cow tail to special interest groups.

We dont need individuals incapable of doing the RIGHT THING in something so important as this.

I'll bet that there are lots of people, Republicans, even, who consider statesmanship the "right thing" rather than partisan wars of mutual destruction.

Your prediction is wrong. Outside of policy wonks, the american people dont understand the issue and dont care about it much. What will matter is what happens in Congress if the nuke option is used and who is blamed for what happens next when the dems stop the Senate from functioning.
