He's definitely got the stones to do it, particularly in his last year when he has no more f*cks to give. OTOH, I think the Democrats are strategizing as to what strategy will play best in the upcoming election. If they think this will help them win the election, it's a win-win. If they play their cards right, they win the Presidency, possibly the Senate and then would be able to appoint a justice more liberal than they otherwise could.
At this point in DC, everything being done by anybody (including the GOP in this instance) is with an eye on the November election.
