Neil Gorsuch MUST Be Opposed, But Will Democrats Actually Fight?

President Trump has nominated Neil Gorsuch to replace Justice Antonin Scalia. There are a lot of policy-specific reasons to oppose Judge Gorsuch—namely because he's a Scalia-esque right-wing extremist—but Democrats should also oppose the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch based on principle. If Gorsuch becomes a Supreme Court justice, then Republicans will be rewarded for record-breaking obstruction. So Democrats MUST oppose Gorsuch, but the question is whether or not they actually will.
