Democrats in Congress and progressive advocacy groups—incensed that the Republican-led Senate never acted on former President Barack Obama's nominee Merrick Garland—have vowed to fight Trump's pick.
Once Gorsuch's name emerged, those cries grew louder.
No senator who believes individual rights are reserved to the people, not the government, can support Gorsuch’s nomination.
Gorsuch harkens back to the days when politicians restricted a people’s rights on a whim. That is a very dangerous view to our liberty.

Annie Leonard, executive director of Greenpeace, said the choice proved the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers have their "priorities backward" when it comes to serving the American people.[/FONT]
[FONT="]"Empowered by spineless Congressional Republicans and an incompetent and malicious Trump administration," said Leonard, Gorsuch "could inflict serious damage to people in this country. Since the Trump administration has made it clear it will only make America great for corporate interests, everyday Americans must now work harder than ever with the growing resistance movements and their allies in Congress and the courts to actually make America great for all of us."[/FONT]
[FONT="]Democrats in the Senate, added Leonard, "can rest assured that they will have the support of the people in filibustering this appointment."[/FONT]

[FONT="]César J. Blanco, political director of the Latino Victory Project, said "Gorsuch's track record on women's reproductive rights and issues of discrimination and police brutality suggests he doesn't have all of our interests in mind nor that he could be independent of advancing Trump's agenda and saying no to him once he goes too far.

[FONT="]"The radical actions taken so far by the president—including his discriminatory executive order on refugees and immigrants—make clear that the next justice to the Supreme Court must be willing to serve as a check on extremist and unconstitutional policies that undermine our system of self-governance and our justice system," Blanco continued. "Republicans have been rewarded for their obstructionism and refusal to confirm Judge Garland. It is a sad day in our democracy, and Republicans celebrating the success of their obstructionism should be ashamed of themselves." [/FONT]

Thanks for the update, bitches.
I like him a lot better after reading your talking points which were intended to dissuade me from liking him.
This is an excellent pick. Guy wants Congress to get back to writing laws, not for judges to interpret their own esoteric meaning of laws on the fly. Imagine that!

Carter for Congress @TomCarterforMS 30m30 minutes ago
Every single 1 of these Dem. Senators voted 2 confirm Neil Gorsuch in 2006. Now they have a problem with this #SCOTUSnominee #draintheswamp
I know that this was the final deciding factor of why I voted for him and also 7 other people that I know.
Of Course there were zero circumstances under which any of us were gonna vote for Hillary so....I'm not sure what we'd have done there.
Write-In of Bernie was not an option cuz we felt he'd sold out to The Clinton Machine in exchange for a $667,000 House.
PLEASE make those Bitches SEE this response PLEASE Make It So

Damn!! Trump sent him to work ALREADY?!?!? Its after MIDNIGHT. I know Trump likes to get things done but this is ridiculous.
Oh Wait. Obvious PhotoShop is Obvious lol.
Nice Picture. If Trump gets a chance to fill a second chair the fight over that Nomination will be the REAL Battle Royale. This here fight over Gorsuch is just gonna be Democrats doing more Whining. In Reality Gorsuch should be approved and seated by this weekend.
I don't even know when Hearings begin tho so that say was just to say: No Sensible Reason exists to resist Approval of this Nominee. The Dims are gonna make fools of themselves with this here.
Make Fools of themselves, again.
I wonder if any of them will cry.

Rep. Barbara Lee and Rep. Jan Schakowsky just reintroduced the EACH Woman Act, a bill would that prohibit federal, state and local governments from passing laws that restrict private health insurance companies from offering abortion care, and restore abortion insurance coverage to the 28 million women who receive healthcare through the federal government and are currently denied coverage for an abortion procedure through the 1976 Hyde Amendment.

Profile | Neil Gorsuch
Age:49
Home state:Colorado
Current position:Federal judge on 10th circuit court of appeals
Mr Gorsuch has been nominated to be elevated to America’s highest court.
His relative youth made him a particularly intriguing selection for Mr Trump, as he could well serve for decades. If confirmed, he would be the youngest justice to join the court since William Rehnquist in 1971.
A Harvard Law School alumnus with a doctorate in legal philosophy from Oxford, he clerked for two Supreme Court justices and is considered a gifted writer of legal opinions.
Mr Gorsuch is an avowed originalist, meaning he believes the Constitution is a stable rather than living document, and has sided with Christian groups in religious freedom cases.

Mr Gorsuch is an avowed originalist, meaning he believes the Constitution is a stable rather than living document, and has sided with Christian groups in religious freedom cases.
The White House is planning a major outreach effort to get Mr Gorsuch confirmed. Sean Spicer, the White House Press Secretary, said the White House was planning a series of briefings with House and Senate staff about Mr Trump's pick, adding that the White House was "going to work really, really hard" to get Mr Gorsuch confirmed.
The son of a former Reagan administration official, Mr Gorsuch is the youngest nominee to the nation's highest court in more than a quarter century, and he could influence the direction of the court for decades. He is a judge on the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and was appointed to that post by Republican President George W. Bush in 2006.
Announcing the selection to a nighttime crowd in the White House East Room flanked by the judge and his wife, Mr Trump said Gorsuch's resume was "as good as it gets."

"Judge Gorsuch has outstanding legal skills, a brilliant mind, tremendous disciple, and has earned bipartisan support," Mr Trump told an audience that included Scalia's widow.
"Depending on their age, a justice can be active for 50 years. And his or her decisions can last a century or more, and can often be permanent," Mr Trump added.
Mr Gorsuch, who was in the same 1991 graduating class from Harvard Law School as Barack Obama, is considered a conservative intellectual, known for backing religious rights and writing against euthanasia and assisted suicide, and is seen as very much in the mold of Mr Scalia, a leading conservative voice on the court for decades.

"I respect ... the fact that in our legal order it is for Congress and not the courts to write new laws," Mr Gorsuch said with Mr Trump looking on. "It is the role of judges to apply, not alter, the work of the people's representatives. A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge, stretching for results he prefers rather than those the law demands."
The Senate confirmed Mr Gorsuch for his current judgeship in 2006 by voice vote with no one voting against him.
Democrats signalled it may not be easy this time.

"Judge Gorsuch has repeatedly sided with corporations over working people, demonstrated a hostility toward women's rights, and most troubling, hewed to an ideological approach to jurisprudence that makes me sceptical that he can be a strong, independent justice on the court," Mr Schumer said.
