would be a Democrat. I don't know if it's unprecedented, but if so, this is procedural. And so important.

the gop is on board claiming dt is crazy, Obama did not wiretap, it's a thought I thought should be considered because of the gravity of the appointment. I can't believe no one would think to postpone this.
We're now wondering if our current cic is nuts.

.......voted pretty much unquestioningly to confirm Gorsuch for his current slot on the Court of Appeals. In fact, his confirmation didn't even receive any serious objections from Senate Democrats and he was confirmed by a voice vote. In that respect, I think his nomination was kind of genius. I don't think there's a chance in the universe that he's not going to be the next Supreme Court justice.
