This argument may work with Democrats, but it won't cut it with Independants, Undecideds and Swing Voters. There's little evidence that these voters place much importance on on who gets to nominate whom to the Supreme Court. Otherwise, the Democrats would have won more than 3 out of the last 10 Presidential contests.
Little evidence, indeed. Where is yours WRT Inds, Unds, & SV'S? Speaking for myself (IND), the past 8 years inform my vote more than any Dem candidate's policy positions, and I want my Constitution back.
Please don't speak for me.
Dems obviously need INDs like me & the others on their side - and the current administration is enjoying the lowest approval ratings in history. So unless you have solid numbers to back up your claim that these voters won't lean Dem, or that SCOTUS nominations aren't important to us, you might want to reconsider whether the past 10 elections have any bearing on the present.
