It is a given that Senator Schumer was NEVER going to vote to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. The question is, does he have enough clout to PREVENT the confirmation?
Maybe Chuck can organize a filibuster. But if he does, I want to see a REAL one, with the filibustering Senators getting up to the lectern and talking themselves hoarse, tied to the stand until they are ready to drop from exhaustion or exceedingly painful cramps set in, presenting at least semi-relevant summations of why they think Neil Gorsuch is either unfit, or otherwise not suitable for the appointment. If this going to be a life appointment, then those who do NOT want to support it should be able to stand by the courage of their convictions.
Personally I would like the appointments to any level of the Federal judiciary be limited to a term of no more than ten years, with reappointment possible at the end of that ten years by re-nomination by the sitting President at the time and re-confirmation in the Senate.
Well, Schumer already knows the answer. Gorsuch will not be goaded into answering that question, because it is possible that the case will be heard in the supreme court. If he answered he would make himself ineligible to give an official opinion.
