shows me that Gorsuch is a very smart conniver, charlatan, confidence man. His answers all hide behind the duty of his position -- to impartially interpret and make judgements regarding the law. His record says otherwise, but his answers all seemed to go along the lines "I just do what a good judge does", i.e., he has just and only carried out the duty of his position without entertaining any moral qualms or thinking for himself. Believe that and I have a bridge you may be interested in buying. Gorsuch is just another fascist, bigoted hypocrite who would have us believe he is a saint. Don't buy it!

In the face of what happened with Garland, the illegitimacy of 45s presidency, and Gorsuch's clear and oppressive record, the Senate Democrats damned well better filibuster and then maintain it. All hell will be paid by the party if they don't -- not just because of Gorsuch but because of Democrats' relative lack of backbone especially over the past 15-20 years and the distrust that has sown among party members past (now I's, Greens or other) and present.

OBSTRUCT GORSUCH, TRUMP and the GOP!
