I know lots of liberal democrats who are demanding a Gorsuch filibuster. Mostly Bernie supporters. I think the party is using this to get the attention of all those angry liberals who tend not to vote at all and use them to expand the base. Because moderate liberals don’t really give a fuck, so they’re not going to vote against a Democrat for filibustering Gorsuch, and I think many of them will smirk and pump their fist about it if nobody is looking.



He isn’t. Gorsuch was on the board of the private school my kids go to. And that place is a haven for left-wing flakes. It is literally the school where rich white lesbians send their adopted African kids. There are conservative families around, but they don’t admit it. And Gorsuch is definitely not a religious fanatic. He’s a lapsed Catholic who attends his wife’s flaming left-wing Episcopalian congregation. When was the last time you met a hard-right white male Christian Republican who let his wife pick the family Church?

The real trojan horse with Gorsuch is a philosophy/ideology called “natural law.” Exactly how this fits into American jurisprudence is not known, because the USA has never had a supreme court justice who subscribed to natural law. And Gorsuch takes pride in at least paying total lip service to the law, so he might not even bring that in.

And maybe this is why Trump picked Gorsuch. Nobody really know’s where he’s coming from. So congress can’t write legislation with a good idea of how Gorsuch will react, at least not until he’s been around a decade and written a pile of opinions. Gorsuch might be one more stick shoved into the wheel of government as we know it.

the definition of a Trojan Horse.....nobody knows where he's coming from. duh

On the flip side, I wouldn't go nuclear on this one if I were the republicans. I would let Gorsuch be shot down and go get a super right wing judge then go nuclear. Why blow it up for someone who isn't super conservative?

Because they want Gorsuch confirmed before they kick off an independent Russia probe and impeach Trump.

Pence being President is just the tip of the shitberg. Imagine how fucking bonkers the far right is going to get if Trump is impeached. It’s going to be the mother of all crazy conspiracies. There really will be a crazy civil war within the GOP at a time when they control congress, the presidency, and will be packing the supreme court.

Why? If Trump gets impeached, Pence goes in, or if he is impeached too, Ryan goes in. Any way you look at it, the GOP still holds congress and the presidency. So they'll have 4 years to get someone in, why not someone worse than Gorsuch?

I'm sure there are plenty who want a filibuster on Gorsuch and there are many who just want the Dems to obstruct the Administration's agenda. Chatting with a number friends, neighbors and coworkers who fall squarely into the D camp, it's pretty clear that few have strong opinions on Gorsuch & it's probably largely due to the nuanced aspect of his judicial perspective (that you mentioned). Other topics du jour, like immigration & the wall, are so much easier to digest & seem more of an immediate risk.

The alt-right has seized on this story as the leak in the dam that will bring the Obama administration to justice and they will all be convicted and thrown in federal prison....pretty much strictly based on this:

"Last month when she was asked on the "PBS NewsHour" about reports that Trump transition officials, including Trump himself, were swept up in incidental intelligence collection, Rice said: "I know nothing about this," adding, "I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that account today."

I'm not sure if The Daily Wire is "alt-right" but they're certainly Pro-Trump, and that's where I got the link to the Bloomberg article from. The Bloomberg article certainly makes it less suspect than The Daily Wire, but then again, people looking for anything other than Pro-Trump commentary from TDW is an idiot.

You've got people on both sides of the fence that want all these things to confirm what they believe & either convict the current administration or the previous administration in the court of public opinion rather than wait for an investigation to conclude and determine what actually happened.

There's a pretty hilarious piece on the washington examiner site condemning Rice.

I'm not sure why, but I favor the Washington Times over the Examiner for my ridiculous right reading. This is my favorite article from yesterday:

So the government has found out about my Asian midget lesbian jello wrestling porn proclivities?

Oh no!!!
