I wil say a few final things.

1) I honestly don't know much about Gorsuch. His ruling against the truck driver is very concerning. Also concerning is the dark money behind his nomination. That being said:

A) I am glad he got an up or down vote.
B) I am THRILLED that McConnell used the "nuclear option". (Of course he did it for pure selfish, partisan reasons.) The thing is. I HATE the filibuster for ANYTHING. (Legislative or for nominees). It is NOT presribed in the Coonstitution, and only exists as a loophole in the cloture rules in the first place. In no way,shape or form, did our founders, design a Senate with anonymous filibuster on demand. It made me sick to hear McConnell talk about 60 vootes, as if it were written in the Constitution. Now Democrats talk about it all the time the same way.

2) I truly wish the right wing partisans on this thread would see the damage to our democracy caused by Mitch McConnell. He absolutely took a shit on our Constitution. If "Advice and Consent" can now mean "We will ig nore all nominees from the currrent President, and wait for the next one", where does this end? Supreme Court justices are appointed for life, and we now have Neil Gorsuch in place of a very qualified justice nominated by a President that Mitch McConnell didn't like. It is TRULY sad. (And you can be SURE that I would say the same thing if Gorsuch were nominated and confirmed under legitimate circumstances and Chuck Schumer did something similar. (And please sparre me the Obama and the Democrats did it ttoo, routiine)

In Smmary... Gorsuch is the symbol of partisan politics over country.. His nomination should be mourned.

You refuse to see that Chuck Schumer set the precedent followed by McConnell.

"They were just words, they didn't mean anything"

That attitude is pure blind partisan bullshit. If roles were reversed you would be enthusiastic about the Democrats placing their rabid partisan lawyer on the bench, knowing he or she was a Marxist there to create laws and rule as a team of dictators with iron fists

It is the rabid extremist Democrat party, that is taking us down this road and that the Republicans are merely standing up for themselves and for the rule of law, without which we shall descend into chaos and civil war

Chuck Schumer blocked zero nominees. That is simply the truth.

Your comment that republicans are standing up for the rule of law is so laughable that I have high confidence that you don't even believe your own words.

Schumer has only been the minority since January and did his best to stop the only nominee to come up.
That is simply the truth.

Ummm...Bama...

I said that I thought the nuclear option was good!
I don't know exactly how bad Gorsuch is. (And I could not care less what the Dems think of him). The fact of the matter is... He is an illegitimate Supreme Court Justice, filling an illegitimate Supreme Court vacancy.

Not at all, only through hyperpartisan eyes

Yeah. Words mean things, Schumers chickens are coming home to roost. Dems put him in the leadership position rather than blackball him after his rhetoric. They back him and his agenda. You refuse to acknowledge the reality, even see the reasoning

Put away your partisan blinders

So? Shame on the Dems. That still doesn't give any Constitutional credence to what McConnell did.

Your reasoning, is:

1) Chuck Schumer made a wrong-headed statement 10 years ago (with no power to act on it)
2) The Dems made him their leader. Therefore the Dems are bad.
3) Therefore McConnell can shit on the Constitution and you are ok with it.

He has the power to act on it. Put it this way, there are two rival gangs. A punk in one gang says he is going lead a hit on a guy called "The Judge' in a rival gang

Word gets out, raises some eyebrows in the rival gang

Then the punk is made gang leader. You're the only one shocked when the punk has some really bad luck in rather short order

This isn't JV, like ISIS. This is the United States Senate. You have some obnoxious loud mouth know-it-all punk shooting off his mouth, what he says should be taken seriously because it isn't fun and games, it's high stakes

You think it's fun and games?

If you think it's serious business then you need to get rid of your punk, or at least get him to stfu because he just fed you a big fat Schuumer sandwich then fucked you in the ass

When I saw leftists pepper spraying a conservative woman who was talking to a news crew, then the culprit escaped into a crowd of leftists who helped him escape, I knew we were headed for civil war

Leftists assaulted a lot of people at Trump rallies, at Milo speeches, and at other events. Leftists were paid to incite violence and disrupt speeches...

Things are going downhill fast. Leftists refuse to accept the election, you yourself are calling the Supreme Court justice "illegitimate"

Obama refused to follow the law, his justice department refused to follow the law, went rogue. Massive scandals were ignored

When the rule of law is ignored by half the country (Democrats / leftists) then there is no law, there is no constitution. Thats the glue that holds the Union together, and it is gone

What speaks to leftists is raw power, nothing else. Recognizing that is recognizing reality, and giving an inch is an unforgivable error, the Republicans have finally figured that out.

Leftists have been at war for a long time now, finally the Republicans are in the game too

These leftists sound like terrible people. I called this Supreme Court justice illegitimate, because the vacancy he filled was the result of an unconstitutional act, which damages our democracy.

I see that you are trying to rationalize this unconstitutional act, with a description of despicable acts by leftists.

Strange that it RW white boys are killing and attempting to hurt brown people/jews/asians/ hindus, bullying & targeting putting people in the hospital.
It was Trump advocating violence at his rallies...but lefties are causing the civil war. One rancid white boy trump fan killed 6 and injured more in canada, nothing mentioned by the Scrotus of the perp.
Fucking moronic attempt as usual by the insane one.

You are so full of shit. Trump said, what at his rally - if you see someone throwing something hit him, right?

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT

Knock the holy shit out of them, it could be a grenade or who knows what. Republicans are free to defend themselves so go fuck grampa mnottertroll with your faggot memes, hag

Conservatives do not condone any of the random crazies you mentioned, but the pepper spraying leftist goon caught on video was aided and abetted by the crowd of leftists, all of the assaults at speeches and rallies, the arson and vandalism were planned by Democrat party operatives and many were paid through Soros-related groups as well as the DNC

Black Lies radicals were encouraged to riot on every level. The media spread the lies, Obama fanned the flames, and people died

In other words, what the leftists are doing is condoned and fully supported, funded and coordinated at the highest levels
