Gorsuch is a done deal, thinking otherwise is fantasy. D's are foolhardy wasting political capitol opposing him, Gorsuch is better than they had any right to hope for, the only place he drastically differs from Garland is on 2A issues. Out of pure spite, the D's are going to force McConnell to change the rules on what is really a mainstream pick, then they'll have no ammo left if Trump picks a controversial judge next time (likely Ginsberg's replacement).
