A thought experiment
It's the last game of the season, and you need a win to insure your team makes the playoffs. Your star running back, who is retiring, is 105 yards away from breaking the league rushing record. Your game plan calls for a strong rushing attack behind your offensive line.
But when you line up, inexplicably, the other team is putting a slow cornerback one on one against your fastest wide receiver. They keep doing it, even though you are able to complete every pass to him, regardless of down or yardage.
Do you stick with the game plan and try to get your running back the record? Or do you exploit the weakness for the easy and sure win?
So put this experiment into political terms. You are gearing up for the biggest fight for SCOTUS of all time, rivaling the Bork hearings. You receive a list from your political opponents of acceptable candidates that includes a name of someone that you know will make Scalia look like a liberal. But you are the only one who knows. What do you do?
