should never be forgotten.

They made our country and fellow citizens suffer.

Victory for us is now a united "No" and in most cases it will stop the Republican agenda in its tracks.

Remember Merrick Garland!

Those are vulnerable red state Dems who already buck their conservative constituents a great deal of the time.

Personally, I doubt they will support Gorsucc but they are waiting to declare. Why be on record before you have to? Trump Russia thing blows up tomorrow, there might not even BE a vote.

Such a loss losing Mark Udall & getting Cory Gardner instead. And now our senior senator is Michael Bennet.

McConnell will use the nuclear option, guaranteed, so Gorsuch will get confirmed regardless.

It's disgusting, an enormous breach of ethics and integrity by Republicans, and a detriment to this country for the next 30-40 years. But Dems can't stop it.
