full title...........BREAKING NEWS: Trump names Neil Gorsuch as his Supreme Court nominee - firing starting gun on bitter battle with Democrats.........................President Donald Trump announced his appointment tonight of Neil Gorsuch, a U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit judge, to the Supreme Court.

Look at the bright side...
Of the inbred nepotistic Washington go-along-to-get-along insiders, he was amongst the best available...
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NUCLEAR OPTION?!?!
WTF IS THE NUCLEAR OPTION?!?!? THANKs
Or worse, he ripped the tags off his mattress!
Excellent! There’s the proof that he is no good!
On a more serious note, I have enormous respect for Justice Thomas for what he had to go through. This coke can episode sealed forever my disgust for the Left and all Democrats.

Thanks! I do want to remind people of the NeverTrumpers and just what they were trying to ‘save’ us conservatives from.
“Never Trumpers need to go to hell”
Gorsuch is an Episcopalian.
Wouldn't you want Gorsuch to spend a year or so on the bench before you pass such judgment on your imaginary adversaries? Look at what happened to Roberts (who is a conservative jurist, by the way).
Amazing turn of events,....Scalia’s likely murder by Obama’s Democrats resolve by a Scalia philosophical clone....
Our God is a God of Justice.
The battle is over.
The Dems don’t have the votes.
It’s a done deal.
Can’t wait for the next opening, and the next, and the next...
Thanks NeverTrumpers.
Once again, your help was greatly appreciated.
Enjoy the benies of being carried across the finish line kicking and screaming.

My bet is on San Fran Nan. She’s catholic you know. /sarc
“Harvard , Stanford & Columbia ranked 2 , 3 and 4 in the USA with Yale at # 1 . Univ. of Chicago tied for 4th with NYU at # 5 . Elite yes - but apparently the best .”
Who rates them?
If one of the liberal relics on the court would just resign, maybe Trump can then give them Merritt “Judge Judy” Garland as a token replacement…
I can just see Trump with a tote board showing all the Dems who voted for Gorsuch for his current post, going down the line saying, what’s the problem now??
I take Beck’s anti-Trump effort personally. His insane activism endangered my self and family.
He is merciful for we certainly don’t deserve it..
Crazy. Trump nominates a SC Justice, and all some FReepers can talk about is what happened during the Election.
Aww, you poor thing. You gonna be alright?
