The battle now begins as President Donald Trump (#15 FCIL) has nominated Neil Gorsuch to be the new Supreme Court Justice of the United States. Gorsuch is an affable #13 FCIR with a conservative record that looks to match that of Antonio Scalia (#13 FCIR) whom he will be potentially replacing. Most democrats plan to fight tooth and nail to block Neil’s entry, though as one author writes, “Gorsuch has not given Democrats much to work with. He hasn’t ruled directly on cases involving abortion and gay rights, and he won Senate confirmation a decade ago on a voice vote with no opposition.”
Yes, all the democratic senators in 2006 supported Gorsuch for the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Among many others, this also included Barack Obama (#13 FCIR), Joe Biden (#13 FCIR), Hillary Clinton (#15 FCIL), John Kerry (#13 FCIR), Dianne Feinstein (#15 FCIL), Patrick Leahy, Patty Murray, Dick Durbin, and even now Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer! Don’t you just love politics, especially now that Chuck and co. are trying to paint the squeaky-clean and upright Justice as out of touch and against the people?
