I think Gorsuch was a Pence pick from the get-go.

Staunchly conservative but boring with judicial qualifications.

I don't think Trump wanted to be bothered with vetting a Supreme Court pick himself, especially since he probably has such low esteem for the law (who cares who you appoint if you don't intend on following legal decisions anyways), so he delegated the task to Pence. Had he been involved, he'd probably choose someone with high visibility who loves him but scant qualifications. Think someone like Jeanine Pirro from Fox.

Now that Gorsuch has seemed to criticize Trump, the question is, will he revoke the nomination, and will he then try to step in and take over the process himself? Which would mean Justice Jeanine Pirro?

1. Gorsuch will go along with the entire agenda of hate

so I dont think he will be retracted.

2. It's not enough for Gorsuch to criticize Trump

The criticism only has any effect IF Trump realizes he has been criticized.

Trump won't react to being called an aardvark until someone explains to him what an aardvark is.

3. I think he is better than scalia

Scalia was known to form opinions to suit his personal beliefs. Lawerece v.Texas is a perfect example of his incompetence, he dissented in a case where it clearly violated privacy as envisioned by the writers of the constitution. So he even fails on originalism when the constitution contradicts his personal and religious beleifs.

Gorsuch is married to a british woman (immigrant) and, more importantly, he is a member of 'liberal' Episcopal Church. This fact alone makes him more sane than Scalia, what do you think?

The church he attends conducts same-sex weddings and more accepting of abortion rights. Just let it sink in for a moment. Scalia would haver stepped into a church like that. This means that, perharps, his personal views won't negatively impact civil rights cases unlike Scalia's.

4. Of course he is.

More than likely, the orange anus didn't even know who Gorsuch was until a few days before he picked him. He sure as shit has never read anything Gorsuch has ever written or knows the slightest fucking thing about any of his positions.

5. I think that tRump

is so far out of it that any and all of his nominees are someone else's pick. He doesn't seem to me to be the kind that gave much thought to anything except how to get Your/Our Money in His Pocket.

The doofus can't even read for chriss sakes. Or if he does it's at a 3rd maybe at best 4th grade level.
