    The Demos wont filibuster him and not now after getting busted trying to smear him.




    A Smear Implodes: Former Dem Aide Accuses Gorsuch of Sexism, Gets Refuted By Fellow Student.....


    We discussed the reasons why Judge Neil Gorsuch is quite likely to be installed on the Supreme Court following this week's hearings in an earlier post: In short, he's eminently qualified and universally esteemed, Democrats lack the votes to stop him (barring a further escalation of tactics that have already burned them badly, and that can be overcome through retaliatory maneuvers), and opponents have failed to settle on a coherent approach to impede his confirmation. But that doesn't mean that Senate Democrats and left-wing interest groups -- who have worked hand-in-glove in the past -- aren't up to their usual tricks. When they don't have a substantive case to prosecute, there's always the scurrilous character assassination card to play. New York Magazine is on it, publishing a piece that quickly began making the rounds on Lefty social media. "Surprise" number one:


    This is remarkably thin gruel on its face, especially since the key charge rests on an inference of something Gorsuch allegedly "implied." But the gruel gets thinner. Surprise number two, courtesy of Glenn Reynolds:


    The quoted “former student,” identified by New York Magazine as one “Jennifer Sisk, who graduated from the University of Colorado Law School last year,” is not just any former student, but a former operative for Democrat Mark Udall. (“Sisk went to college in Massachusetts, at Wellesley, then worked as an aide in Mark Udall’s Senate office in Washington.”) New York Magazine leaves that rather important fact out.


    Surprise number three, via Ed Morrissey:.....snip~

    You would have argued for the nuclear option anyways, after all it was your party's idea from 2002, and it is your party's name.

    Blaming it on us is so very Republican.

    If the Democrats really want to fall on their sword they will filibuster and one of 2 things will happen.
    1. Rule will change and 51 votes more than likely 52 or 53 votes will confirm him.
    2. He will not get confirmed, new nominee comes forward that they really hate, the rule gets changed and that guy gets confirmed.

    Pres Trump could be appointing 2 more easy in the next 3 years, it would be silly for the Democrats to go all in on the first one that really at worst for them keeps the status quo.

    We can't say we weren't warned that the White House rewards it's friends and punishes their enemies. We received that warning about eight years ago from, as I recall, Valerie Jarrett.

    The Democrats will hate anyone Donald Trump nominates so their hatred is moot. He might as well have fun and nominate Rep. Maxine Waters.
