Gorsuch is in officially
Gorsuch, as we’ve said, is a very reasonable choice. The Dems just threw a fit to throw a fit. A generally positive development on a not so positive news day otherwise.
(From The Libertarian Republic)
Gorsuch’s hearings began with a day of opening statements. In effect, this meant around eight hours of Senators of both parties grandstanding, and Gorsuch delivering a short statement at the end. Committee Republicans hailed Gorsuch as a paragon of the Constitution and written law. Democrats on the committee responded by attacking Gorsuch’s stances on Hobby Lobby, Chevron, and a few other issues. They also complained about Merrick Garland, a lot.
In the following days of the hearing, Gorsuch fielded accusatory questions from Democrats and repeated softballs from Republicans. Gorsuch was nothing, if not consistent. When questioned about previous decisions, Gorsuch gave detailed answers explaining his legal reasoning. At times, these explanations led to ridiculous exchanges, including former comedian Sen. Franken (MN) attempting to stump Gorsuch on legal principles (pocket sized book in hand).
