I think you're right. Peil actually has a great point and it should focus their minds, but losing the Supreme Court doesn't bother them that much. After all, look at how cowardly they were on confirming leftists to it and on confirming AG Loretta Lynch.
The big threat if we lose the Supreme Court is that we lose our gun rights. The Ryan republicans don't give a crap about that, except that it is a constant thorn in their side to have to placate the NRA. If the Supreme Court took it out of their hands, like it did with abortion, then they could just shrug their shoulders and tell gun rights voters that there is nothing they can do.
I guess I've already decided on total non-compliance with regard to guns. Unless they plan on searching every home in America I won't comply. And in my case they better bring a crane, ground penetrating radar and a backhoe.
