I am actually impressed that McConnell has Grorsuch seated by April 7th. That is really quick for a Supreme Court Judge.

They could have held the vot matter his answer on the first question about separation of powers. That told me all in need to Know. Vote to confirm

Yeah. They should just vote. There should be no delay.

Al Franken is overcompensating.

If he knew Jesus and how He paid the price so we could be forgiven. If he knew the humble, guilt and shame free life that leads to, Al would not feel the need to overcome all that shame with a fire hose of lies and corruption.

IMHO

He knows about Christ and has rejected him. For that he goes to hell #2.

I don’t feel superior, just blessed and fortunate.

I have no doubt it’s gonna take the nuclear option. The Rats will use the “under the cloud of an investigation” as cover. I won’t be surprised if Comey doesn’t drop another bond to delay the vote. He does sound a little to much like Roberts for comfort.

Gorsuch’s sharpest retorts were prompted by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Al Franken (D-Minn.), who showed impatience with his repeated refusals to speak to his personal views.
_____

Sheldon seemed to be a little less constipated today though he’s always really impressed with himself. Franken acted like a rude, nasty clown.

What a disgusting spectacle. A bunch of degenerate, glad-handing, crooks get to attack their intellectual superior like that, and he has to sit there and take it.

Roberts was blackmailed.

Yes Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) is “rank” and yes, Sen. Leahy is still “Secrets Leaky”.

Schumer is in a class all by himself. “Insane” is insulting crazy people because Schmucky Chucky is way beyond that. He’s such an ahole that even ISIS wouldn’t want to get near him.

Perhaps, and possibly paid off.

Whatever he was, he STINKS and should NEVER have put himself in the position to BE "blackmailed" in the first place. As "CHIEF JUSTICE", he untrustworthy and needs to be impeached and removed; but sadly, he won't be.

They’ll still vote against him.

Take the Trump state RAT Senators...give Gorsuch a couple days up there sounding judicial, and they'll vote for him.

It's not an act.

It is beyond STUPID that the Schumer and Warren are trying to delay the vote over the Russian joke. It shows that they have nothing on Judge Gorsuch. I for one think that shutting down the filibuster would be refreshing. After all, it’s no longer sacrosanct after Reid fiddled with it in 2013. It’s likely just a matter of time before it’s shut down.

Gorsuch has to put up with these gutless brainless wonders to get confirmed. Then he can metaphorically tell them to kiss his ass as he’ll have a lifetime appointment.

He’ll have no trouble being nominated because he’s already been nominated.

He’ll also be confirmed.

The Dims picked the wrong judge to fight over.
The fight they should be prepared to have is when either Ginsburg, Kennedy, or Breyer decide to retire or pass on.

That's when the balance of real power on the court will occur.

Yes, you are right. We know the liberal left will kill to further their agenda. Their greed for power knows no bounds.I believe Scalia was murdered. Roberts is still alive... half-a man. Really, how does an honest man deal with a dishonest man?
I don’t know where this will end. I support Trump and he is the only hope the United States of America has from the mire of corruption. Any thoughts?

I observed one thing past the obvious in that exchange. Mrs. Gorsuch is not to be underestimated. She sat behind her husband with a polite but small smile on her face for hours. When the Judge schooled DiFi her smile widen just a tad. I lol’ed.

Dems will block the vote over the Russia investigation. McConnell will go along with them and say that the investigation put the nuclear option off the table.
