Good on "the anonymous 6" for standing up against party lines, for the good of their constituents. I wish just one more would have gone against party lines against Betsy DeVos, but I hope the two who did so publicly will be rewarded rather than punished for putting constituency before party. I also hope to see the Democrats (continue to) pick their fights and not just all oppose everyone. It seems Tillerson got nothing like the opposition that DeVos faced.
I'm still not sure about the Supreme Court justice. He seems reasonably reasonable for a literalist. I haven're really read enough of his previous rulings to have a good sense of him either way.

Trump did great on that one! He's pretty solid, almost as good as Scalia was. Great choice.

Looks like Trump is picking a team of winners!

Liberals and moderates are draining the swamp.

The problem being that Trump's shored it up pretty good right now.

'He's pretty solid...Good choice!'
Goresuch the SC nominee called Trump's remarks disheartening and discouraging. More accurate with each passing day.

Pudzer his ex-wife's calling police calling when he beaten up her and injured her, pages of hand written report was on video. Then Oprah show video of now his ex testimony of detailed abuse appalling in political news channels. Details of violence his. wife survived. Police report had more entail of phone ripped off and thrown to her. Glad he is withdraw, Hus wife was beautiful. before he sex violence. Trump has Melanie and Ivanka. This guy is Sadistic toward pretty women. Good ridnce.

More like filling it up with snakes, vermin, weasels, crocs, Democrats.....
He's a Judge, of course he has to stand by his fellow Judges, especially as a SC nominee, that would look so bad if he didn't, whether he believes it or not, I wouldn't know what is in the guys heart and mind. He might think the opposite and Trump is final hope.

I have limited knowledge of Gorsuch's political beliefs. Because Trump and the Republicans are pushing him, I doubt I could agree with him politically. But I have to think for him to be considered by anyone, even Trump and the Republicans, that he has to have an extremely high level knowledge of the law.
If he's only trying 'to stand by his fellow judges', then he's not Supreme Court caliber.
Rightists and Russians continue to try to undermine US institutions in attempts to get more power for the executive. Those who want to give Trump more powers need to be reminded they're a minority in the US; the majority voted for his opponent.
The majority don't want to see a Putin-type kleptocracy, or oligarchy, or whatever system it is Russia's are subjected to.

Watching these antics makes SNL look like non-fiction, it's almost impossible to differentiate between the two.

Trump needs to stop trusting his aides who recommend nominee candidates and self promoters. He or other republicans did not know Carl's nr head had domestic violence records. Always check the appointment candidates ' ex if he had more than one wife.
