Our government is so f'd up! Let's go to a single party system: The AMERICAN PARTY - You're either for America and its citizens' success, or you're not.
United we stand, divided we fall. This party fighting has got to stop. They are getting noting done!
it's like watching a bad divorce where only the attorneys win an everyone else loses.

With the response Sen Coons from Delaware, I'm not proud to admit I live there. Coons at best might be able sell used cars but him calling Gorsuch a great Jurist takes the cake.

Just use the nuke and that way we don't have to have worthless hearings when the next Judge needs to be considered and then that will put conservative views up 6-3 or even 7-2. Thank You Harry Reid.

It's just the Democrats they will try to vote down anything Trump tries to do. Only because they are bitter because they lost the election. You cannot find a more qualified person than Gorsuch.
