With a shrewdly calculated innocence, Judge Neil Gorsuch told a big fat lie at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. Because it was a lie everyone expected, nobody called it that.

“There’s no such thing as a Republican judge or a Democratic judge,” Gorsuch said.

Gorsuch, the amiable veteran of many Republican campaigns, is well-placed to know how serious a fib that was. As Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) noted, President Trump’s nominee for Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court seat actually received a citation for helping win confirmation for Republican-appointed judges.

1. Technically it should be that way but when you have a Supreme Court

That everyone knows the votes before announcing, there definitely is repug judges and democratic judges.

2. I loved the way

Senator Franken questioned this "so called" judge. Dems should do all they can to hold this thing up. Unless the judges name is Merrick Garland, that is.
