The development was a signal triumph for President Trump, whose campaign last year rested in large part on his pledge to appoint another committed conservative to succeed Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February 2016. However rocky the first months of his administration may have been, Mr. Trump now has a lasting legacy: Judge Gorsuch, 49, could serve on the court for 30 years or more.

Shameful it took an entire year to not even compromise on a SCOTUS selection. Both sides now have the "its my ball and I'll do with it what I want" mentality.
Maybe the only thing that will get our nation's politico's together at the table would be a war. I shutter the thought but the years to come aren't going to be pleasant with both politico parties always fighting! If Congress always fights, then eventually the nation will fight!
And we worry about the Da'Bury??? Much bigger fish that impacts all of us needs frying!
There may very well be an uprising. I hope Trump has enough time to get things straight so there won't be.
It's about damn time. Hard to believe Congress is supposed to be a Republican stronghold. They have the power. Nothing is keeping them from using it. This vote is LONG OVERDUE!
