Wow.... I didn't think the Democrats had the audacity to make such a foolish blunder of a move.
You got to give liberals credit, their leaders have got some stones, but it seems they derive their courage from said stones to do tremendously stupid things.
Neil Gorsuch is one of the most accomplished jurists and splendid conservatives to ever be nominated to the Supreme Court, he has excellent legal credentials and experience, as a 10th Circuit Judge, a lawyer and as a pro bono advocate for disadvantaged during his time at Harvard. Trump nominating him was one of the best decisions of his presidency, and his promise to nominate people like him was one of the major reasons I enthusiastically voted for him last November.
The Democrats are just going to make our job easier—the Republicans will eliminate the filibuster, as they should, to get Gorsuch confirmed. Democrats had no problem changing the Senate rules in 2013 in order to get their judicial nominees to District Courts and Courts of Appeals through easier, the Senate Republicans should take a page from that playbook.
I guess it's all for the best. The next time a Supreme Court justice retires under Trump, which will probably be Ginsburg or Kennedy, the two oldest justices, he will just be able to nominate another solid conservative constitutionalist who will be confirmed quicker.
