which is contrary to an opinion of Judge Gorsuch. This is FAKE NEWS.

This is an example of why we HAVE courts, 2 (or more) sides in disagreement; happens every day, MANY times. Judges deal with legal disagreements every day, and the fact that they exist is NO REASON to conclude: 'All 8 Supreme Court Justices Stand In Solidarity Against Trump SCOTUS Pick.' They disagree with him in ONE DECISION.

Where does THIS come from? 'All eight of the current justices agree that President Trump is completely wrong in choosing Neil Gorsuch to fill the ninth seat on the Supreme Court bench?' FAKE NEWS.
