  •  Ideology vs. lack of judicial temperament (none / 1)

    Whether opposition is "ideological" and thus outside of the filibuster compromise is spinnable.

    Consider abortion as a litmus test for both sides.  If a nominee is opposed to abortion, that's ideological opposition.  If a nominee says Roe or Casey should be overturned then that is a lack of judicial temperament because of lack of respect for stare decisis.
