3. Very slick, using his Senate testimony. Looks like they are worried.

The GOP only have 3 Dem votes, but need 10 to avoid a filibuster.

Schumer knows he has filibuster locked up.

I hope.

Still, call your Senators.

Those he will give passes too. My Senator just announced for Gorsych, and I am sure he was given a pass, but I still game him hell for it.

14. Who is he? Why the hell would any Democrat do this?? It is so anti-Dem!

Plus there are several groups that are promising a primary for every Dem who votes for this rat bastard.

Maybe he doesn't know and you should tell him.

But who is he so I can tell him on Twitter.

15. I am beginning to believe these Anti-Dems are getting paid for their vote for Gorsuch

Think about it. They know all about the Republicans refusing to even hold a vote for Merrick Garland and they know how their fellow Democrats are willing to sacrifice so much as to filibuster the vote.

And they are willing to give a great big, "FUCK YOU" to them and vote, 'Yea"

The Republicans know they need a few Dems to come over to the dark side. And that road is always paved with money

I am accusing them of this on Twitter now, well the one from WV so far.

To so thoroughly pre-coach a SCOTUS pick that they don't give any real answers.

10. The right wing propaganda efforts are in full swing despite big wins in last election

I have never seen any political ads by pacs for nominees before this year when I have seen several- Devos ads, Gorsuch ads and other of the Trump nominees. Since my entire viewing area is Repubs in Senate and House, with safe seats due to gerrymandering, I guess Repubs are just trying to turn the public against any Dems in national spotlight who speak out against Trump's nominees as well as guaranteeing no Repubs go off the script.

11. Gorsuch's legacy.

Put on the Supreme Court by a vile sexual predator who won the election through a ridiculous, outdated system after the Republican party disgracefully blocked his predecessor from putting his completely qualified pick on it for nearly an entire fucking year for purely partisan reasons. Sickening.

12. Chosen by Federalist Society and Heritage Fdn. Maybe they're paying for the ads.

Disgusting shit. It's not a goddamned elected position. Running adverts for USSC appointments SHOULD (in a sane country) be STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
