Congressional Hearings

Going nuclear was all but going to happen anyway. Once the Dems opened that floodgate when they went nuclear a couple of years ago there was never any doubt. The moment any majority party was faced with a filibuster on a SCOTUS justice they were going to use it. And really, knowing that the other party is going to go nuclear, then you all but guarantee that the opposing party is going to filibuster. It's like game theory and the outcome is clear. John Nash is smiling somewhere (probably because he's not here).

Gorsuch received UNANIMOUS approval 90 something to 0 as a Busch circuit court nominee. If Trump had nominated a flame thrower like Pryor of Alabama I could understand the donks fillibustering. But Gorsuch has to be one of the least, if not the least controversial off of that Trump list of 20 or whatever potential nominees that he floated during the campaign. If the donks fillibuster Gorsuch, it means there isn't a single nominee that Trump could put up short a known liberal judge the donks wouldn't fillibuster..

He was overturned 8-0 by his colleagues and his mama resigned in disgrace from the EPA, managing to avoid prison, but only just. He's a crook just like the rest of them.

-Wrong, Gorsuch wasn't overturned 8-0 by his colleagues. He and his 10th Circuit Court colleagues made a unanimous ruling in a case which upheld a prior precedent. That decision then was overturned by a unanimous SCOTUS. That is one case out of hundreds he has taken part in.
-His mama tried to eliminate the EPA. Good for her.

My bad, he was overturned 8-0 by higher authority.
