“After careful deliberation I have concluded that I cannot support Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court,” Mr. Schumer said, announcing his filibuster on the Senate floor.
“The answer isn’t to change the rules, it’s to change the nominee,” the New York Democrat said Thursday.
Mr. Schumer has long been the leading proponent of evaluating judges not by their legal qualifications but by how he sees them tilting the courts, with a goal of shifting the federal judiciary to the left
When Gorsuch was nominated to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals by President George W. Bush in 2006, he was confirmed unanimously 95-0 in the Senate. Chuck Schumer, along with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and a number of other Democrats in the Senate, voted in approval.

I don't have a problem with the Democrats doing the same thing to Republicans that Republicans did to Democrats.
It just goes to show you two Republicans don't make a right.

Let him play his little games. We don't need him to get this going. Actually things would work much better if Schumer, Pelosi, etc. We will just go nuclear!
