Dems to filibuster Gorsuch

Despicable. Schumer is both a piece of shite and full of shite.
I suppose this was expected after GOP refusing to hold hearings for Garland.

As the Senate Judiciary Committee was hearing from witnesses for and against Judge Neil Gorsuch, his Supreme Court nomination was delivered a critical blow: Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced he would oppose Gorsuch and join other Democrats in filibustering the nomination, making it likely that the judge will struggle to find the support needed to clear a 60-vote procedural hurdle. Gorsuch “was unable to sufficiently convince me that he’d be an independent check” on Trump, Schumer said in a Senate floor speech. Gorsuch is “not a neutral legal mind but someone with a deep-seated conservative ideology,” Schumer added. “He was groomed by the Federalist Society and has shown not one inch of difference between his views and theirs.”

Only when the other party does it. Otherwise it's justified.

I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what Schumer gets done in Washington.

Hangs out at Comet Pizza. Stares. Smiles. Walks to the bathroom.

That's a terrible hill to die on.

I thought they would have saved this for RBG's replacement.

Not a good political move by them but they do everything based off of emotion so not surprised

What? I didn't agree with what the Republicans did to Garland, but two wrongs don't make a right. Both parties are hypocritical, as evidenced by what Biden said as a Senator.

Here's your proof.
100% obstruction. Personal vendettas are being put ahead of the work of the people.

Biden must be kicking himself for the R's following a rule he created

beyond stupid political move for Schumer. Now Republicans can justify nuclear option for not just this nominee, but the next 1 or 2.

Me too, let's see if they blink though. They may back down.

Good. Make Republicans use the nuclear option and taint Gorsuch forever.

This is all petty nonsense.

I applaud the Dems for choosing this horrible tactical location to make their stand.
