Abstract
This week President Trump’s nominee for the US Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch, is likely to be confirmed by the Senate – but with few Democratic votes. John D. Rackey and P.C. Peay write that despite their stated intention not to vote for cloture on debate over Gorsuch’s nomination – which will likely lead Senate Republicans to invoke the “nuclear option” to remove the filibuster on Supreme Court nominations – Democratic Senators should vote to curtail debate, but then vote against Gorsuch’s nomination. Such a move, they argue, would show Democratic Senators to be bipartisan while preserving the filibuster and maintaining Senate norms.
