This is why democrats should never be allowed to appoint judges

Expectedly, democrats have signaled their intention to filibuster the vote on Neil Gorsuch. Gorsuch has been given the highest possible rating by the American Bar Association. He is as qualified to serve on SCOTUS as anyone ever has been. democrats, still smarting from the election loss are locked in a war over this nomination and show everyone why they really should never be allowed to choose judges.

In his zeal to impugn Gorsuch, Al Franken, who says he made a career in absurdity, made an absurd ass out of himself. Franken wasn’t the only ass either. This is priceless.

It is embarrassing to this country that Al Franken is a US Senator. The moron asked a politically loaded question about Merrick Garland and then told Gorsuch that he need not be political.

If Franken wanted to write better comedy than democrats at these hearings, he could not do it.

The Biggest Tool Prize, though, goes to Princess Fauxchohantas. She had this to say:

“We need to have a judge who’s kind of acceptable to both sides,” Warren said on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition Friday. “That’s the reason there’s a 60-vote rule in effect on Supreme Court nominees.”

“I don’t think Neil Gorsuch meets that standard,” Warren said. “Here’s someone — read his record.”

His record is distinguished and scholarly. Here’s where she goes off the rails:

“In every opportunity to choose between corporate interests, big corporations and the little guy — employees, women, consumers — he always chooses the big corporations,” Warren said. “And I think that puts him way outside the mainstream of what we need.”

Her assertions were false, of course, but that’s not his job. It is not the job of any judge. His job is to adjudicate the law in accordance with the way it is written. Despite being provoked over and over and over, Gorsuch said

“My job is to apply and enforce the law”

democrats wanted to know what Gorsuch’s personal stances were, They wanted to know his political leanings. All he did was give exactly the right answer every time. He did not want to comment on anything not before or prejudice any possible proceedings.

It’s precisely what you would want from a judge.

But not democrats. Lead by Fauxchohantas, they want an activist judge- someone who will legislate from the bench, but acceptable only if he would rule according to their liberal doctrines, of course. This is why democrats should not be allowed to appoint judges.

Gorsuch frustrated them at every turn, refusing to take stances on issues not before him. He did not give them the rope they sought with which to hang him. Now they intend to filibuster.

Which makes it time for the nuclear, er, I mean, the “Reid Option.”
