"Gorsuch, a Denver native, will be introduced by both Colorado senators Michael Bennet, a Democrat, and Cory Gardner, a Republican before he delivers his opening testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday. Its long been tradition that a nominees home-state senators give the introduction during the high-profile confirmation hearings."

Coloradans, please contact your Senators - this is crazy. As Robert Reich said today
"Activism works. Here's a portion of an email I received this morning from a Kansas politician who left the Republican Party:
'These town halls are taking a toll on [..] members of congress..."
Please call and send letters! These senators need a backbone.

And on Gorsuch

Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch has close ties to conservative megadonor activist Philip Anschutz
Gorsuch has frequently spoken at Anschultzs lavish retreats at his 60-square-mile Eagles Nest Ranch. Similarly, Gorsuch shares a limited-liability company with two of Anschultzs lieutenants, the Times notes, with the three of them co-owning a 40-acre property in the Colorado mountains.
