That's one of the reasons I don't trust Gorsuch now.

The only reason I don't trust Gorsuch is that the GOP hasn't had a decent nominee in 30+ years with the notable exception of Clarence Thomas

Eh, I would say Alito was a good pick and a proven, solid conservative.

IF Trump HAD "kept his campaign promise" to name a pro-life Scalia type judge (for example, nominating Thomas Rex Lee or Jennifer Elrod to SCOTUS), I would have gladly gotten behind the nominee.

But he didn't.

I'm amazed how many FReepers haven't learned from history and are eager to rubber stamp this guy after what we went through with John Roberts and Harriet Miers. Using their logic, Senate Republicans should have rallied behind Miers and given her a lifetime job since the President swore up an down that she was an "originalist"
