There's too much at stake to just trust him on this. This is The Big Chance, and the people who we thought of as being the best nominees would have, by definition, provoked a fight, but the fight ain't the thing - it's just a symptom.

I think some want a fight just for a fight, but there is a greater value. In the post-Bork era, the right needs to establish that a highly qualified, thoughtful, accomplished jurist with some anti-Roe history can be affirmed. If Ginsburg can get 90 plus votes, then a her ideological counterpoint should be able to get affirmed, if as qualified. And certainly Luttig, McConnel or Jones are as qualified.
