Regarding Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court, here is a comment from Ars Technica which mirrors my sentiments very closely. As I write this, it is +25 votes:
I hope the nomination drags out for ages and is ugly and horrible. This is a stolen seat, and it’s bullshit, and I want revenge.
Which is an utterly childish attitude in many ways, and I acknowledge that. But I’m sick of being the adult in the room, if the GOP gets to play by their own rules then as a liberal I want to say fuck it, we’re going to play Calvin Ball too. Take your Senate traditions and hypocrisy and blow them out your ass.
He’ll still win in the end, Democrats don’t have the numbers. And I’m honestly grateful that he seems like a decent pick, all thing considered. As in, I don’t agree with him, but he’s a legit judge who cares about the rule of law, and not some utter moron ideologue. We could do a lot worse than Scalia 2.0.
Never-the-less, I want the ugly, I want the pounds of flesh. Drag that shit out!
