...there are only two reasons the Democrats are threatening to block Neil Gorsuch.
1). He's an OriginalIst Republican Judge
2). They have massive amounts of baboon ass butt hurt over Judge Garland.
Reason #1 is not surprise. Democrat will be Democrat, and they have a long history of blocking Republican nominees. (See Bush 43).

#2 is very apparent. On any news channel/show if Gorsuch is brought up, the first words out of a Democrat's mouth is "Yeah, but Garland... <enter rant here>
With what appears to be happening the Democrats have conveniently forgotten one important item:
Joe Biden in 1992: No nominations to the Supreme Court in an election year
Were there a vacancy, Biden argued, Bush should “not name a nominee until after the November election is completed,” and if he did, “the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over.”
“Senate consideration of a nominee under these circumstances is not fair to the president, to the nominee, or to the Senate itself,” he continued. “Where the nation should be treated to a consideration of constitutional philosophy, all it will get in such circumstances is partisan bickering and political posturing from both parties and from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.”

I rest my case, so let the name calling and flaming begin.
