Nothing on Gorsuch?

RaceBannon

I was sure he was a white nationalist racist homophobe.

And stupid of course

I'm watching Jimmy Stewart in "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." Maybe later.

I'm hearing he was the most transparent pick ever and bi partisan. Trump is going to work with Democrats and it's gonna be yuge.

The guy seemed solid and terrified of trump

perfectly acceptable pick to replace kennedy, or Ginsburg. Much better than I even expected. and very much unlike someone you'd expect trump to pick. We do need to hear his opinion of the NSA on the record

Nothing will change the fact that this seat was stolen.

That was a ballsy role of the dice. Strictly partisan political maneuver, and they dumb-lucked into a win on it.

what's interesting is, unless you're a right wing Christian nut, garland and Gorsuch aren't that much different.
Both are pro business
Gorsuch is probably better on 4th amendment

Garland was about as watered down a pick as you can make, and the GOP ideologues still blocked it

Pelosi drew a hard line in the sand on him during her CNN Town Hall this evening, which was an understandable play but one I think that will come back to bite her if she pushes it. Pick your battles; this isn't a winnable one.

I get it. but it's still a stolen seat. there can't just be no political price

Only thing GOP cares about is that he is pro life and hates gay people. Rest is meaningless.

I don't disagree. But extract the pound of flesh elsewhere, not here. Fighting the battle over this particular appointment won't go well for Democrats. Better to hit hard somewhere else where they're weaker and the Dems are stronger. Kinda like Weinberger's policy of horizontal escalation in the early 1980's regarding the Sovs.

REAL Hitler would have gotten his own People's Court in there.

Disappointed!

Pelosi can do whatever she wants without consequence. Outside of killing somebody and having to work while in prison, her ticket is punched easily on every election.

I'm fine with Gorsuch.

Sharing this anyway though because it's funny:

Stolen how? There has never been an appointment that late in a last term. It was voted on by the people. Your side lost.

As already noted. Not even close to true.
