That was sort of my take on Gorsuch. While I personally didn't/don't like him, there was nothing outstanding saying he would not be a good pick for SCOTUS.

Quote:Votes do matter, and Republicans were rewarded for their "we'll steal a seat" tactic from these same people crying foul over Kav. You have to respect the ability of the POTUS to pick their supreme court nominee (no matter the party Trump supporters).

Not really. IMO he picked a guy with good credentials, but several possible warts here. When people called out the possibility of warts, Trumpists started vehemently denying they needed to be examined. Blind partisanship.
