Thank you Democrats for pushing this over the edge.  No reason for the Republicans to even try and nominate someone from closer to the middle of the road.  With Ginsburg at 84, Kennedy at 80, and Breyer at 78, Trump will more than likely nominate at least one more justice and probably multiple justices.  In your haste to try and debunk anything Trump and get revenge for Garland, you have now brought out the nuclear option over what was a closer to the middle of the road Republican nominee who was pretty much given the thumbs up by even left leaning judicial watchers.  

At least you should have fallen on your sword and forced the nuclear option when there was a larger consensus of some right wing nut job like a Ted Cruz as the nominee.  Then you would have been justified.  But by wasting it on a middle to right jurist, you have now blow it open and Trump doesn't even have to try and get someone closer to the middle who might just have turned into the next Kennedy.
