Solid. Serious scholar, excellent writer. He's been wrong occasionally (i.e., disagreed with me), but usually logics his way from sound principles to a correct conclusion.

The Dems would be wise to keep their powder dry, allow a vote, and save their ammo for a real wackaloon in the future.

I doubt they will keep their powder dry on this or anything.

I believe that they only release certain information to the media WRT committee votes - apart from the yea or nay. Mind you, for his appointment, they are going to need at least one Democrat to show. :)

The Democ-rats are holding up the vote for Sessions just because they can. What's the sense in that? Chances are they'll do the same with Gorsuch. Just because they can.
Somebody should remind them that 'revenge is a dish better served cold'.

Maybe you should email the GOP with that advice.

Judge Scalia with Judge Gorsuch



I hope Judge Ginsberg steps down soon. 5-4 is nice... 6-3 is better.

My posts are just my opinions. I'm not about to offer advice to the more savvy in politics. I just wish other 'laypeople' would do the same.


It seems out of place to me that Senators and Congressmen will question the nominee and judge his worthiness when he likely has more experience and knowledge of the law than they do. And Intelligence too.
