WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer expressed doubts Tuesday night about Judge Neil Gorsuch, saying President Donald Trump's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court will likely take an ideological approach to the job. "Judge Gorsuch has repeatedly sided with corporations over working people, demonstrated a hostility toward women's rights, and most troubling, hewed to an ideological approach to jurisprudence that makes me skeptical that he can be a strong, independent Justice on the Court," Schumer said after Trump's announcement.

How did Alito become a justice with just 58 votes? However that worked needs to be used for Gorsuch if he can only get 52 votes. Was the nuclear option used by the Republicans in early 2000’s?

He sounds just like that “People for the American Way” cow that was just on Tucker Carlson. Must be using the same talking points from George Soros.

Thomas Jefferson said that the biggest problem with the Supreme Court was the fact that it was “independent” in an 1819 letter to Spencer Roane:
“The constitution … is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please. It should be remembered, as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, that whatever power in any government is independent is absolute also […] Independence can be trusted nowhere but with the people in mass. They are inherently independent of all but moral law. …”
This underscores the utter need to keep anti-constitutional leftists out.

The pinko-commie-libs have clearly market tested the "doubts about his independence" meme.

Every lefty talking head is reflexively vomiting the phrase on TV as I type this post.

Just saw that woman on Tucker. The lefts arguments are all the same tired BS. The women, the mean ole corporations, just so tiresome. I’m sure there will be some racism thrown in there too.

No but as the judge said on Tucker just now. If they can delay him then the EPA has four cases waiting to go to the SCOTUS and another case where the schools in the country have to build cross dressing bathrooms.
If that is the case they win, so we have to go nuclear on this ASAP.

He’s going to be SCCS anyway.

Thanks for your opinion...”Ave Nice Day...”

You guys need to tread carefully on this.

It is likely Trump will get one more swing at the bench this term and he might get two more but, no matter what he will get 4 more at bats over the next 8 years.
