Trump at best case (for them) scenario will be gone in 6 or so years. An appointee will be there for likely close to 30 years. Let's not kid ourselves and think just because they have disagreements with Trump that they don't support Gorsuch type judges.

Flake is genuinely hypocritical and vomit-making - the Empty Barrel.
