Is the Gorsuch block a calculated risk?

4. A risk is letting ANY Supreme Court nominee through until we know the full extent of the

Russian/trump/republican involvement.

The fact is there is at the minimum a 50% chance that this election was interfered with by the Russians, and perhaps done so with the approval and involvement of the trump administration. The argument McConnell used was that President Obama had no right to nominate a SC justice because this was his last term, Trump has no right to nominate SC justices until we know the full extent of the Russian involvement, and if that means waiting until 2020, so be it.

While there is a good chance that the republicans will remove the filibuster because of this, that will come back and haunt them, and they will rue the day they blocked President Obama's SC nominee, Garland, and removed the filibuster allowance for the SC.

What comes around WILL go around. The countries changing demographics, and the self-destruction that the republicans are doing to themselves and the American people, will NOT be forgotten
