Senate Set for Historic Supreme Court Vote on Friday
Whichever way the showdown goes, Friday’s vote will be one for the history books.
Whichever way the showdown goes, Friday’s vote will be one for the history books.
As senators prepare to vote on the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday highlighted several key facts to the public to inform the nationwide discussion as the Senate increasingly appears headed to a historic outcome one way or the other.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that if Democrats tried to filibuster Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court, he would vote for the “constitutional option” to permanently end filibusters of nominees to the nation’s highest court.
Senate Democrats will attempt to filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on Thursday during a speech on the Senate floor.
Judge Neil Gorsuch gave his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday on the first day of hearings on his nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
National legal experts analyzed Judge Neil Gorsuch’s judicial record at a Heritage Foundation forum on Wednesday, predicting a conservative intellectual to succeed Justice Antonin Scalia.
Maureen Scalia, the widow of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, attended President Donald Trump’s national address before a joint session of Congress Tuesday night as the president and first lady’s guest.
Gorsuch's record reveals his commitment to uphold the Constitution and laws as written, not those Schumer imagines.
Gorsuch, like Scalia, believes that the Constitution actually means something, rather than being a meaningless collection of words to be tortured until they confess to the desired result.
I like Gorsuch's chances, given his well-established views on the rule of law in general and religious liberty in particular.
