Quote:This is becoming embarrassing. Yesterday Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that a vote on Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, should be delayed until the FBI has concluded its investigation of the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Russia, an allegation that has yet to be substantiated by evidence (via The Hill):

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is urging Republicans to delay a vote on Neil Gorsuch, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, because of an ongoing investigation into potential ties between Trump officials and Russia.

"It is unseemly to be moving forward so fast on confirming a Supreme Court justice with a lifetime appointment while this big gray cloud of an FBI investigation hangs over the presidency," the Senate's top Democrat said, echoing language used the day before by Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (Calif.).

Schumer's request, which is unlikely to gain traction with Republicans, comes as Gorsuch is into his second day before the Judiciary Committee. The committee is expected to vote on his nomination by April 3, with a full Senate vote following within days.

But the the New York Democrat argued that it was "the height of irony" that Republicans blocked then-President Obama from filling the Supreme Court seat left vacant by Justice Antonin Scalia's death in 2016 but are "now rushing" to confirm Gorsuch.

The Democrats have nothing. They know they can’t block Gorsuch. Nine Democrats have already voiced their support for a hearing and a vote. They’ve also said they would not support a filibuster of the nominee. As E. Donald Elliott, a Yale law professor, wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal back in February, “One way or another, Judge Gorsuch is going to be confirmed. The question is how much damage will be done to the country first.”

Fat chance, delusional Dems. They’re getting desperate now. Gorsuch is going to be confirmed, get used to it…

If he is a lame duck president, it's the Democrats' responsibility to advice and consent, right? Isn't that how it works?

Told you yesterday it was the talking point. With that link some liberal said nobody should do anything until Trump has been investigated.

Pretty pathetic.
