Trump's Pick for SCOTUS

[fishing]

Finalists seem to be these two - with Mr.Gorsuch reported as the front runner.
Also some gossip that only one of the two actually made it to the WH tonight for the announcement.
(Personally though I think the media hype and "style" of this announcement, both caused by Trump as well as the media is a bit unbecoming).

Atleast in info/media I've been able to find, the latter is outwardly more of a supporter of 2A rights.

thoughts? implications?

Gorsuch.

No real history on 2A rights. So who knows...

Here's pretty much what we can expect from the Dems during the confirmation hearings...

President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States is Neil Gorsuch, a judge on the United State Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit who has written that “the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right.”

I hope you don't breathe air, drink water, eat food, or take medicine...



Every single one of these Senators voted to confirm Neil Gorsuch in 2006.

I genuinely hope Pelosi doesn't do any of those things either. Unfortunately she continues

I saw him described as an originalist in the vein of Scalia. Apparently that puts him far outside the mainstream of legal thought? I guess if you seem to loathe the large swathes of the constitution as much as Team Pelosi then that's true.

I'm not defending what the D's are about to do, but I'm sure they see it as payback for the R's keeping Justice Scalia's seat vacant for nearly a year. There used to be some compromise in politics, but now it's an all or nothing game and this is what we get.

It's a totally fucked up situation. I can't even begin to put into words how much I loathe these miscreants on both sides of the aisle who hold this country hostage. 'Despicable' is too nice a term to describe their complete lack of character or sense of responsibility to the American people they are supposed to serve.
