Dems defeated. Justice Neil Gorsuch confirmed!

Boom!

The voting is still ongoing but, seconds ago, Judge Neil Gorsuch received enough “Yeas” to become Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

It’s almost impossible to overstate how important this was

We’re sure we’ll have more on this later, and we’re equally sure liberal heads are exploding, but for now ...Celebrate! This is a huge, huge, win.

I believe this is a win for a return to morality and the end of legislating from the bench.

Thank you God. You gave us a path and we've taken it....Dems be damned.

We need many more Constitutionally sound and sane justices at the Federal District and Federal Appellate Court levels, too. Oh, we pray for more.

After cloture is initiated, if senators insist on continuing debate, they can only do it for 30 more hours. You can initiate the final confirmation vote at any time during and after that period.

Please be careful with your language. The left will be freaking out over everything for the next few days. I know what you mean, but meanings can be misconstrued.

Mitch did a great job on this issue!

Let us keep in mind how different this would have been had Hillary been elected or we had lost the Senate.

>>Justice Thomas as 52 to 48<<

Yep, and he ended up being one of the few Justices in History that actually respects and defends our Constitutional Freedoms.
