From what I've read so far Neil Gorsuch is a good choice for SCOTUS.
What he's said and done shows conservatism with logic. I'm surprised
at this from Trump. Of the final three on his list Gorsuch is much
less the or hard line type. The Democrats will still put up a fight
in retaliation of the treatment of Obama's nominee.

I hope I'm right about Gorsuch and wrong about the upcoming battle
over his approval.

Never let it be forgotten that the Republicans' rationale for refusing
to consider Obama's nominee was complete bullshit and that the Democrats
voted with the Republicans 97-0 to confirm Reagan's nomination in 1988.

Completely agree. Very impressive man. Quite the pedigree.

Had to roll my eyes a bit with a CNN headline that said that Trump is remaking the court. He's not remaking the court. He is replacing a conservative judge with another one.

Now for the politics. It will be fascinating to see how hard the Democrats push on this. Schwarmy and plastic Pelosi issued strong statement but do they really speak for their entire party? Their reelection Is assured but there are 24 Democratic senators up for reelection in 2018. Many of them better tread lightly.
