Remember just a few short months ago when Democrats and the liberal media screamed about how Republicans were the “obstructionist” party every time they refused to go along with some half-baked Obama scheme?
Now that there’s a Republican president, Democrats think that obstruction is patriotic and their civic duty. That’s why they’re planning to filibuster President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
It’s nothing but pure politics – remember that not a single Democrat opposed Gorsuch’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 2006. He was confirmed unanimously. So what’s different now? Nothing, other than politics, of course.
But the extreme leftists following Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s call to acting just got bad news – after two Democrats announced they would support Gorsuch, now a third is joining their number: Joe Donnelly of Indiana will also vote to confirm.
Via TheBlaze:
Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) said in a statement Sunday that after meeting with Gorsuch he believes Gorsuch is a “qualified jurist.”
“After meeting with Judge Gorsuch, conducting a thorough review of his record, and closely following his hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I believe that he is a qualified jurist who will base his decisions on his understanding of the law and is well-respected among his peers,” Donnelly said in a statement Sunday.
…
Donnelly is just the third Democratic senator to pledge his support to Gorsuch. Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) and Joe Manchin (W.Va.) said last week that they were going to vote for Gorsuch.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on Gorsuch’s nomination on Monday while the full Senate is expected to vote later in the week. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Sunday that Gorsuch “will be” confirmed this week and it’s up to Democrats how that will happen.
This is great news, for the Trump administration and for America. Conservatives love the choice of Neil Gorsuch, and he has promised to be an originalist and protect the Constitution.
Now that more Democrats are jumping ship, Gorsuch should become the next Justice.
