Are you aware that Barack H. Obama belonged to a Marxist/socialist club while at Occidental College in California, which advocated the overthrow of the U.S. Government? That is far more significant. He was an adult. He should have been denied the presidency based on that.

Gorsuch has an exemplary record as a lawyer and judge and is a Constitutionalist. That is what is important.
A fact that doesn't register with the Obama cult, apparently. Nothing can cloud the image of their dear leader. They'll just scream "racist" and "bigot" when facts intrude on their liberal delusion.

The leftists don't want fair and balanced.
They want it THEIR WAY, right now.
And they are going to stomp their feet and moan and groan and bellyache.


Unfortunately for them, the rules will be changed if need be, the filibuster will be eliminated, and Mr. Gorsuch will be confirmed.

I promise Gorsuch will be confirmed and the left will save the big fight for whoever comes next to replace Ginsburg.

They would be idiots doing anything but waiting for their "big" fight because this doesn't change the balance of the court at all whereas the next appointment will likely do so. So, that means it's about a 50/50 chance they'll fight this tooth and nail.

The Supreme Court has a check on it, it's called a new Supreme Court and a different make up. If that weren't the case, why are so many people paranoid about Roe v. Wade being overturned, because in your statement that could never happen and no Supreme Court decision could ever be changed/altered for infinity.

They would be idiots for doing anything other than fighting every nominee. Trump and the Republicans aren't going to compromise on anything.

So says the person who thinks a satirical HS newspaper is disqualifying for a SCOTUS nominee?
