We actually had a qualified nominee for the Supreme Court, but the Republican Senate, in a naked power grab, refused to even meet with Mr. Garland. My own Senator Toomey was part of that cabal.
Now we get Neil Gorsuch, polite guy, friend of corporate interests, recommended by the “originalist” commentators, who believe that the document approved in 1789 must be followed to the letter. Originalists, by the way, always seem to forget about the intentions of the people who have added 27 amendments, including the13th, 14, and 15th.
Gorsuch is very polite, very personable. He is also opposed to workers’ rights, women’s reproductive freedom, limits on campaign contributions, and environmental protections. If Democratic Senators have any integrity, they will vote against a man who is completely unqualified to sit on the highest court in the land.
Remember who nominated him.
