RUSH: Well, the confirmation hearings for Judge Neil Gorsuch are underway, and some Drive-By journalists are feeling sorry for Democrats. As the New York Times so eloquently puts it, they have two different paths to choose from: \u201cGet out of the way, or get run over.\u201d<\/p>\n

If they filibuster and try to deny Gorsuch an up-or-down vote the Republicans are reportedly ready to fight. They can simply rip up the rule, kill the 60-vote threshold for Supreme Court nominee, and confirm Gorsuch to the Supreme Court over Democrat objections, and the Democrats would lose.<\/p>\n

But if the Democrats don\u2019t mount their standard character-assassination playbook operation, that\u2019s bad news. If they don\u2019t do everything they can \u2013 find political operatives to smear him, distort his record, try to paint him as a monster \u2013 then their lunatic anti-Trump base will turn on them, and they lose that way.<\/p>\n

The Democrats still cannot believe they didn\u2019t succeed with their Merrick Garland nomination, stonewalled by the Republicans. Despite Obama\u2019s loading up the federal courts with activist judges, that loss still hurts. So they\u2019re hoping against hope for victory somehow.<\/p>\n

\"\"Too bad for them. It won\u2019t happen. The difficult path the Democrats face here is their own doing. Under Harry Reid\u2019s leadership, they changed the filibuster rules to get Obama\u2019s judges in over Republican objections.<\/p>\n

Elections have consequences, folks, and now it\u2019s time for the Democrats to lose and eat it with their own rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
