Trump clearly knew who Gorsuch was before reading a half-page promotional bio

Trump nailed one of the most important decisions of his presidency, and I couldn't be happier. Wow!

The man of the hour and his predecessor:

It won't do anything. Gorsuch will be confirmed.

And probably with Democratic support!

Gorsuch will be confirmed. Maybe Manchin may vote for him.

Ugh.

At least it's not Pryor.  Democrats still don't owe him their support, though.

I wasn't about to give that man any higher ratings.  I found out within seconds who the nominee was and I didn't have to see Trump.

Warning sign for Dems looking to block this:

Manu Raju ‏@mkraju  6m6 minutes ago
Sen. Mark Warner, a rare D offering praise for Gorsuch, saying he has an "impressive resume and academic background."

The Virginia Senators are the worst Hillary state Democratic Senators. Carper and Feinstein are pretty bad. Also, I wouldn't trust King. And that's without getting into the 11 Trump state Democrats.

Mark Warner is too good for the modern Democratic Party.

Regardless of how badly Democrats want to stop this and how deservedly pissed they are about Garland's seat being stolen, this is simply a fight that cannot be won. Neil Gorsuch may be a conservative, but he is too qualified for Democrats to stay grouped against his confirmation. Enough cracks will appear.

At this point, "a fight that cannot be won" is no longer a valid reason to not fight.

Garland was "too qualified" as well.

Like I said we now we will loss but a) we are sick of the GOP playing dirty since really Newt back in the 90's while or leaders try to be the adults and b) if Mitch kills the FB we will make them pay for it when we run the senate again

They should fight anyway, so the filibuster can't be used against them in the future, and appease their base.

"I voted for him before in a unanimous vote, but good God I could never vote for him now because he's Trump's nominee."

Expect a lot of that.

One interesting thing is the relationship between Kennedy and Gorsuch. Gorsuch could pull him to the right on some cases whereas Kennedy might pull Gorsuch to center on some others.
