Seriously, what are they thinking? President Obama’s nominee doesn’t get a hearing for a year. Merrick Garland gets snubbed by several GOP senators who refuse to meet the man.
And now Democrats are bending over backwards to be courteous to Trump’s nominee?
Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch will get some bipartisan cover at his confirmation hearing next week — even if for just a few minutes.
Gorsuch, a Denver native, will be introduced by both Colorado senators — Michael Bennet, a Democrat, and Cory Gardner, a Republican — before he delivers his opening testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday. It’s long been tradition that a nominee’s home-state senators give the introduction during the high-profile confirmation hearings. The third person who will introduce Gorsuch is former Obama acting solicitor general Neal Katyal, who has written op-eds and letters to the committee endorsing Gorsuch's nomination. — Politico
WTF. Have they not seen the news since Jan 20? Has Bennet been climbing some 14’ers out of cell phone range? Do they not know what has been happening over the past 50 days?
Or do Bennet and Katyal really think they should be giving “bipartisan cover” to a nominee who hands out attaboys to dudes actively suppressing votes? Maybe they think we’ll forget about it and just let it slide when they run for office again. Maybe they think #resist is just a hash-tag that makes cash donations rain down from the heavens?
Do they even know how to do politics? Why not take Merrick Garland to Gorsuch’s confirmation hearing and make a scene about how he was denied a hearing? Mabye they just want their warm comfy clubby atmosphere back?
