        Judge Gorsuch will be his own man, following the law where it leads and that is what we should want in a Supreme Court justice.

        Or will parties to the Supreme Court feel like the Republicans cheated to stack the deck against them?

        And she withdrew because she wasn't going to get a vote or if she did...not enough votes. What a reasonable jurist does when that happens.

        What "tradition" were you following when you did not allow a sitting President to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. You are a hypocrite.

        That the democrats used the nuclear option with regard to the appointment of federal district court judges, but now are crying foul? Agreed.

        1) a previously minority party heavily reliant on the practice of filibustering, now pretending to be morally above it when in power. :)

        The elimination of the filibuster can be put at the feet of both parties. Neither is blameless.
