Democrats Oppose Trump SCOTUS Pick

As sure as the sun will rise in the east

Leading Democrats have come out in staunch opposition to Donald Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch for the vacant position on the Supreme Court.

President Trump named the Colorado appeals court judge on Tuesday to replace the late Antonin Scalia.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said he had “very serious doubts” about Judge Gorsuch’s nomination.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren accused the nominee of siding with large companies over American workers.

Two of Judge Gorsuch’s most high-profile appeals court rulings saw him side with business owners who objected on religious grounds to funding birth control via staff insurance plans.

All of their points of opposition lose all meaning when they told us before Trump made a selection that they would oppose the pick. They are not opposing the specific candidate. They are opposing Trump because they see it as their role to oppose anything Trump does. So we’ll go through the dance, but the result is already known.

    “They are not opposing the specific candidate. They are opposing Trump because they see it as their role to oppose anything Trump does.”

    Surprise of surprises. This is the same announced tactic the Republican’s had throughout the 8 years of Obama. Why should things change now?

    I’m just sitting back and waiting for Trump to issue an executive order on term limits. Then watch the Dems and Repubs unite and work together.

    This going to be a fun 4 years. Pass the popcorn please.http://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_whistle3.gif

    Clearly, they dislike the pick because he is not big on liberal agenda which perverts normal America.

    1st sign of a great pick!

    “Clearly, they dislike the pick because he is not big on liberal agenda which perverts normal America”.

    Clearly you have your own definition of the word “clearly”.  Please share.

    Too funny.  Parsing the word ‘clearly’?
    without doubt; obviously.
    “clearly, there have been disasters and reversals here”
     
    Glad to be of service.  I might choose: obviouslyevidentlypatentlyunquestionablyundoubtedly, without doubt, indubitably, plainlyundeniably, incontrovertibly, irrefutably, doubtless,    … and thanks for the laugh.  I needed that today.

    Nord,

    Many liberals are in total reactive hissy fit over the pick.   The more liberal advocates scream, the better the pick from my perspective.

    “Clearly”.

    Clearly, you jest.
