I was watching C-Span when Vice President Pence said this. The democrats threw down the gauntlet today when they had Senator Ed Markey use their response to President Trump’s weekly address to condemn Judge Gorsuch. Putting Senator Mitch McConnel’s wife Elaine Chao in the Transportation Department may have been the shrewdest move Pres Trump as made to date. It sounds as if the Republicans are going to play hardball this time and go nuclear. Overall this will be in the Republicans’ best long term interest since they would never stand united enough to filibuster a democrat nominee. I haven’t had this much fun watching C-SPAN since 1995!

I agree with you, and couldn’t understand the hand-wringing from a bunch of Freepers when she was nominated.
