It's interesting what the potential fallout of obstruction would be for the Republicans in the fall.

34 senate seats are up for grabs, 10 are Democrats, 24 are republicans that came in the tea party wave. Only two of the Dems seats are up for grabs, the rest are extremely safe seats.

It is already very likely that the Democrats take over the senate regardless. If the Republicans do not go through with the whole process for finding a replacement for Scalia, they will get hammered hard by any Dems running in those elections and it may end up as a filibuster proof majority for them in the Senate. That's why I think they will eventually go along with it otherwise they are going to be destroyed, perhaps even more than they were going to be anyway.
