Gorsuch WILL Be Confirmed But Al Franken

Gorsuch will be confirmed - but Al Franken exposed that the repugs will be be voting for someone who was hand-picked to help with the, as Steve Bannon puts it, "deconstruction of the administration state".

“If you look at these Cabinet nominees, they were selected for a reason, and that is deconstruction,” Steve Bannon

'Expected to be confirmed' every time Gorsuch is mentioned.

I don't think that's a foregone conclusion at all. Good reasons to block him continue to pile up.

I've been mulling over starting a thread in my state forum to share info on contacting our Senators, perhaps we should all do that.
