All day today was the hearing of Gorsuch and the Dems are out in full spite mode over the fact Merrick Garland was not the one in front of them. Senator Graham even called them out on it and quoted Joe Biden in 1992 when he told that same committee that Bush should not nominate a SCOTUS Justice in an election year and history says it should not be done and if Bush did the Senate Democrats should not schedule a hearing for the nominee. He also quoted Chuckles Schumer about not nominating so the Dems had their own party's rules to blame if they are unset about Merrick Garland. The Dems are vowing not to vote for Grosuch as they are RESISTING EVERYTHING TRUMP. Here is the question will enough Dems cross over and vote to confirm or will the Senate have to go nuclear to get him confirmed? If they have to go nuclear will the Dems survive the 2018 election in the ten states that Trump won?

Trump could just start having meetings with Ted Cruz if it starts looking iffy, or send out a tweet that if he is not confirmed Cruz would be nominated, that would make their heads explode.

The Dems are looking like a bunch of idiots during this deal, like always. Probably trying to come up with another Anita Hill.

Dems are ACTING like not only idiots, but vindictive, mean spirited, childish idiots! Maybe more accurately, they are behaving like a bunch of poor losers.

The condescension was fairly dripping from the voices of the inquisitors during the times I actually listened to the proceedings. Mr. Gorsuch appears to be the grown-up in the room and maintains such good manners, wisdom and composure and it obviously irks those inquisitors that they can't make him 'slip up' in some fashion.

How could anyone represented by some of those elected officials bear to watch them attempt a virtual 'kangaroo court' inquisition????

Durbin looked like he was out for blood with the question about the two female students complaining about Gorsuch's question about an employer asking about a female employees plans on getting Pregnant. It was a innocent reason for asking it as part of Gorsuch's university class lesson but Durbin looked like he was going to prove he was a woman hater that thinks females planning on having a family need to just stay home bare foot and pregnant like in the old days. Gorsuch was very professional in his explanation and I think Dublin was taken back a bit when he thanked him for giving him a chance to explain what that story was all about.

I also liked it when Gorsuch was explaining his ruling on the truck driver fired over leaving his trailer behind and driving away as he put it right back in the laps of the Congress who wrote the law that he had to rule on that resulted in the trucker being fired. He basically said if you don't like my ruling then change the laws as he had to rule on the laws not on what he wished the law said.

He does not look like he is going to go out of his way to bend the rules to for ANYONE unlike the Hawaiian judge that broke all kinds of rules for his visiting classmate, Obama .

Cruz would never be confirmed as a SCOTUS justice.
