So what if democrats and liberal republicans promise ahead of time to vote for Gorsuch. What if the vote is started and they don’t?
What if they have the media report a last mminute slur on Gorsuch?
Can he then receive another vote?
“The ABA’s ringing endorsement is no surprise given Judge Gorsuch’s sterling credentials and his distinguished decade-long record on the Tenth Circuit,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement.
“Former Chairman [Sen. Patrick] Leahy and [Senate] Minority Leader [Chuck] Schumer have called the ABA’s assessment the ‘gold standard’ in evaluating federal judicial nominations. In light of Judge Gorsuch’s impeccable record, it’s hard to imagine any other result from the ABA’s consideration.”
The Leahy Rules mean that Judge Gorsuch should be promptly and easily confirmed.”
