Should the Senate really be voting on a Supreme Court pick while the president who nominated him is under FBI investigation?
Seems to me we need to wait a year or so to see if this leads to an impeachment. Maybe the nomination is invalid? I think we should really take a cautious path here and wait a bit to see what comes of this criminal investigation. It really might be an invalid presidency.

I'm torn, but they probably should. Ultimately, Gorsuch is probably as good as Dems can hope for - a Pence nominee will be anti-Roe for sure.
Still ticked about what happened w/ Garland. I hope that comes back to bite Republicans eventually.
NO!

We don't need an unelected president appointing unelected judges!

D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
The senate will vote.
Gorsuch will be confirmed.
There is nothing any democrat can do about it. You guys don't have enough pussy hats to pass around.
Your nose will be rubbed in your failure. You lost, and you are getting gorsuch.
Like a lovecraftian nightmare for all of you, Gorsuch looms below the depths of your greatest fears.
Gorsuch is your future. You are being pulled in, closer and ever closer.
All your worldlines point to this new reality. There is no other direction for you to traverse.
Gorsuch looms larger and larger. There is no escape.
i want this issue to be used to nuke the 60 vote thing. That way thomas and the rest can retire and you can guarantee younger healtheir conservatives. Just have to wait for one of the others to drop off
If we used Republican logic, a case could be made that Rump is in his last year as president and thus the Senate should wait to let the new president nominate the justice.
