Sally Kohn Is Mad Lawmakers Didn’t Give Obama’s SCOTUS Nominee A Hearing

Judge Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation hearing is underway, and I’ve been watching it in the background for most of the morning. I’m absolutely fascinated by Gorsuch. He’s brilliant, classy and principled. He serves as a constant reminder that voting for Trump was the right choice (not that I ever considered voting for that felonious hag).

Here are a few highlights from the hearing. There really hasn’t been anything “explosive,” although Feinstein made a fool of herself, as usual.

I absolutely loved his explanation of judicial independence.

There’s more where that came from, but you get the gist.

But Sally Kohn doesn’t really care about Gorsuch’s principled, consistent answers. She still can’t get over the fact that Obama’s SCOTUS nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, didn’t get a confirmation hearing.

Don't forget that Republicans DIDN'T EVEN GIVE OBAMA'S #SCOTUS NOMINEE A HEARING!!!!!!

@sallykohn you must not have much faith in your base. You seem to be constantly telling them not to forget. The all caps is a nice touch 😂😂
