Gorsuch has been confirmed

[True Dough]

News just in from CNN. They have the numbers in the Senate.

[gratuitous]

1. Thanks for holding things up as long as possible, Sen. Schumer

You really showed a lot of respect for Sen. Merkley's marathon speech by just letting the vote go ahead without throwing up every procedural roadblock you could have, even if it was futile. Is there anything you'll fight for? Not women or working people, obviously; they will suffer under the rulings of a Court with Justice Affirmative Action Hire on it.

5. +1000

Thank you Chuck Schumer and to the rest of the Democrats who stood up and took a stand for Democracy and our Constitution

[GeorgeGist]

2. Deeplorable.

[Jonny Appleseed]

3. Can't wait for the 5-4 vote on whether or not the president blatantly violating

the constitution is still a constitutional violation and a crime even if the sitting congress and senate are too partisan to do anything about it. It'll establish whether or not the constitution binds the president.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

4. Reason # 1 for never forgiving BoBers - two of which still show their deplorable faces on DU and

all Trump voters.

[R B Garr]

6. Yes, I've seen at least those two, and they now demand

blind unity when they have none to give. All over one Senator who lost almost a year ago now.

Just got a notification about Gorsuch on my phone. How terribly sad we are forced to live with the billionaires' choice for the rest of our lives.

9. What's OHHH

BERNIE OR BUSTERS

Never saw the acronym before.

You don't think I'm one of the two do you?

[seaglass]

11. No I do not. n/t

[retrowire]

13. Ahhh cool.

See, from the beginning I told everyone that Bernie would have wanted us to vote for Hillary if he had lost.

I read his autobiography and he said that whenever he felt he was confronted with the dilemma of "lesser of two evils" that it was still worth it to vote for the lesser. Never ever ever pass up your vote. Always use it.

I told BoBers this all the time. They ignored me.

[seaglass]

16. I wouldn't falsely accuse. The 2 who I am speaking of admitted they wrote in Bernie for President.

It's good to see that a first time voter gets it. Anyone who thinks Hillary would have nominated a justice to the right of Scalia for a life time appointment to the SCOTUS is just too far gone in the Hillary hate to listen to. And anyone who thinks it doesn't matter who gets on the SCOTUS is an imbecile.

8. They will taste

The bitter fruit of this.
We will have the Senate back.
And the house one day.
They will eat this shit.

[VOX]

12. Confirmed right-wing asshole, 35-40 years' worth.

[True Dough]

15. Order in this court! There will be order in this court!

But good call. As if he believes there's no politics in judicial decisions. Good grief!

[Initech]

14. God. Damn. Them. All. To. Hell.

[Baconator]

17. A lovely case coming up deciding if the public should pay for religious schools....

Gosh... I wonder where he'll end up on that one.

*enormous eye roll*

[UTUSN]

18. & so have the next 2 or more wingnuts on the way. n/t

[Joe941]

19. Why did 3 of our senators vote for him? Can someone explain this!?!
