Here are some of the Democrats who supported Neil Gorsuch in 2006

February 1, 2017

  The Democrats are vowing to filibuster  Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, claiming he is a radical and out of the mainstream. Nancy Pelosi went so far as to say, and I paraphrase, if you like air, water, food, or medicine you should oppose the President’s nominee. She also called this a “hostile appointment.”

  Considering that Neil Gorsuch was appointed to the appeals court unanimously it seems to me these accusations are not well founded in the truth. So here is a partial look at some of the Democrats who voted to confirm Neil Gorsuch in 2006:

Barack Obama
Joe Biden
John Kerry
Hillary Clinton
Chuck Schumer
Patrick Leahy
Dianne Feinstein
Patty Murray, Ron Wyden
Richard Durbin
Jack Reed
Bill Nelson
Tom Carper
Debbie Stabenow
Maria Cantwell, and
Bob Menendez

  That is quite a list, especially the first five, isn’t it? If Neil Gorsuch is so radical why did they support him in the first place and if he was so radical why did they pass him on a voice vote? 

  One Democratic Senator who voted in favor of Neil Gorsuch is on the record this week as saying the nominee “harkens back to the days when politicians restricted a people’s rights on a whim.” The only question I have is if this is true why did he support Neil Gorsuch in 2006?  I guess he did not care about people’s rights back then…

Nancy Pelosi is not on the original list so I suppose she has more street cred than the rest of them but as for the others? They are nothing but a bunch of frauds.

    Keep in mind 2006 was prior to Cairbama totally and completely polarizing Americans by race, age, sex, class, health care coverage- yes this too, education, wealth and political affiliation. It is not just a broad generalization to say there is almost no sanity left in the democrat party. For the left a legimate SCOTUS nominee is an angry negro big city white-resenting feminist socialist progressive woman who in spite of a Harvard education three law degrees all at taxpayer expense and who while making a million $’s per year working for any of America’s most prestigious law firms had never distinguished herself represents her repressed minority sistas of America. Sound about right?

      Any sanity they had left they lost when Hillary lost, they are not handling this well.

    I will be the Devil’s Advocate. First 2006 is a long time ago. Second some of these people are no longer in office. Third the appointment was to the US Court of Appeals and there are many judges in each of these courts. There are 19 judges in the 10 Circuit. Gorsuch is not the Chief Judge nor a Senior Judge. Fourth after serving on the court Gorsuch has a record. This record is what should be reviewed by all Senators.

    Would that mean the Republicans that supported Garland before Obama nominated him are frauds as well?

      Yes, and I have stated in the past that if I were a Democrat I would use this time as payback for what the Republicans did to Garland. Interesting to note though that the Republicans used the “Biden rule” when refusing to give Garland a hearing.

    You mentioned Pelosi not being on the list, BUT, she is/was a representative, not a senator, so she would not be on the list, right?
    Anyway, all they will come out and say is that was then and this is now, so they know more information on this man and changed their mind. You know, by now, that there is a method to their madness, right?

    Speaking of Pelosi – she got caught on a hot mic tell the spokesman, “Tell them you’re a muslim … Tell them you’re a muslim.”

    She, Schumer and even Warmonger McCain (plus the other other one – Lindey who came out and call Trump a jack &*% on CNN – which I’m sure they loved… hiss hiss) are agitators and of the same ugly mindset of depravity.
    I like how the protesters were outside of Schumer’s apt. protesting that he didn’t go far enough! Send the crazies after their own kind!

      We need to hold people that voted for her responsible for what comes out of her mouth!

      Again with the snake analogy, it is so fitting isn’t it?! Leave it to Pelosi to make sure the narrative is forwarded! Had to get that out there…
      Isn’t it interesting that the separation of church and state only seems to pertain to Christians? Thanks for sharing this.

        The spirit behind the ‘wackiness’ is tough to emulate because it’s slimy: difficult to grasp and figure (characteristic of a con). That’s why the snake analogy: they do things unexpectedly, but the result, damaging. My sister & her teacher gal friend having dinner where a group of Girl Scouts (use to be able to call them Brownies – the young ones) came in. They were loud, inconsiderate & undisciplined, ruining the dining ambiance for my sister & friend, Pat. Pat did speak to the manager about it – which I stated “Good for her!” Remember when these grps were taught ‘discipline, courtesy, respect, maturity, quality growth!’ I told my sister, THAT’s what these snake ‘mentality’ leaders, media, entertainers, toilet humor, have produced. Making ‘godliness’ unpopular, not cool and a crutch, while glorifying the human sin pitiful nature of slime mentality and unbecoming behavior. Keeping people in the dark only makes them moldy and sick. My soapbox statement about that!

        Moldy and sick and easily controllable! It seems like the Girl Scouts no longer teach these values, they are more likely too busy teaching them about feminism and Planned Parenthood…

    Pelosi is a gift that keeps on giving. I thought we lost a good one when Reid bit the dust, but Schumer is even more amazing.
