I think what he means, what could they lose that would be the equivalent to having control of the court for the foreseeable future. I do see what you mean and I do believe such a backlash not only possible but likely. But I just wonder if it will be enough but we’re in a tough bind etiher way.

While the demographics favor us taking back the House on a more permanent basis in the future (hence the ferocious gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc), the structure of the Senate will make it tend the other way.

It’s clear that the GOP was willing to trade the Senate for this seat, because they know that Kavanaugh’s average life expectancy at his current age is 27 years, and he’ll probably live longer than that, whereas they might lose the Senate for 2-4 years, but they’ll eventually get it back.
