Chuck Schumer once again has extreme biased and closed mind in supporting the next supreme court judge. Gorsuch wasn't even completed with his senate hearing before Schumer went ballistic and started his rant.

Democrats threaten delay on Supreme Court nominee | WTOP

Either way, Gorsuch will be the next supreme court judge despite the childish acts of democrats.

Angry democrat schumer - right. He is laughing his ass off tonight at the GOP and their mess with trumpcare. He said they were like the dog who caught the bus and didn't know what to do with it.

You can bet that Schumer isn't laughing in private these day. Ryancare or not.

Schumer knows he's powerless to do anything about Gorsuch. And even his legitimacy on this is debatable since he did after all vote to confirm Gorsuch for his present Federal job.

Furthermore with Gorsuch, it sounds as if even the Democrats are not with him on it. Not laughing indeed.

You know this has nothing to do with Gorsuch and more to do with how Garland was treated by republicans. Republicans were the childish ones not ever holding hearings for him.

Uhhh... no... all the grandstanding may fool some of you but it's just political theater to McConnel to give a "freebie" to Schumer... Schumer is looking for a "favor" in letting Gorsuch get confirmed... McConnel is giving Schumer nothing because Schumer (like the anti-Trumps here) have no leverage... McConnel will go nuclear if they try and a successful confirmation if they don't (a lose-lose situation for the democrats) and Schumer walks away with nothing.... there is NO REASON to give Schumer anything...

McConnel can't give Schumer anything. It's just not how it works here

Uhmm...actually that IS how politics often works. And yes, Gorsuch being voted in without argument will have a price tag of some sort. Which is unfortunate in my opinion. Gorsuch is not the worst possible choice Trump could have made.

Please, Schumer has been begging with a list of items... you don't get to dictate terms when you lose... The GOP does not have a supermajority yet, Schumer can trade on those issues... the Gorsuch confirmation is not something Schumer can trade because Schumer has no leverage... he was hoping the media act he did would help but it only made the democrats look dumb...

No, it doesn't. One person in government can't promise anything to another person because they don't have the authority to do so. No one person controls the government. We just saw that today with the healthcare vote didn't we.
