Neil Gorsuch: Illegitimate, Unfit Supreme Court Justice
Neil Gorsuch is a illegitimate “Justice” who obtained his seat by theft from Obama’s Nominee, Merrick Garland
Advise & Consent Clause of the Constitution Violated by Mitch McConnell & Republicans
Obama was President when Antonin Scalia died. Obama chose Merrick Garland as Scalia’s replacement but Republicans violated their constitutional duty by refusing to provide “Advise & Consent” and held Scalia’s seat open for almost a year, blocking President Obama’s pick Merrick Garland. This was an outrageous and despicable power grab by Mitch McConnell & Republicans.
When Trump became President, he appointed Neil Gorsuch, who obtained his seat by theft due to Republicans blocking Obama’s nominee, so Gorsuch is without question, an illegitimate “Justice”. Gorsuch seat rightly belongs to Merrick Garland.
Ex-Federal Prosecutor Glenn Kushner explains how when Mitch McConnell & Republicans refused to provide Advise & Consent to President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Obama should have told Merrick Garland to take his seat in the Supreme Court.
Since Mitch McConnell & Republicans refused to provide Advise & Consent, any legal challenges would have likely failed, so the Supreme Court today would be 5 to 4 Radical Right Wingers instead of 6 – 3.
In an unprecedented move, Senate Republicans vowed to deny holding confirmation hearings for President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee — even promising to deny meeting privately with whomever the President picks.
The people already spoke when they elected President Obama and unlike Trump, Obama was elected by a majority of Americans.
Trump lost the popular vote by 2.9 million. The majority voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton and therefore the majority wants a liberal Supreme Court Justice and liberal policies, NOT conservative.
Republicans are making the case that it would be inappropriate for Barack Obama to nominate the next justice after Antonin Scalia’s death, arguing against those Republicans is President Ronald Reagan. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola of The Young Turks discuss President Reagan’s comments and the GOP plans to block Obama’s SCOTUS nominee.
Republicans have hijacked the highest court in the land. First, they stole a Supreme Court seat from President Obama. Then, they changed a 70-year old rule to install two of Donald Trump’s far-right justices and confirmed Brett Kavanaugh despite credible allegations that he committed sexual assault and lied under oath.
Now, the politicized Supreme Court is enacting a far-right, partisan agenda that favors corporate interests and Republican Party special interests. Reproductive freedom, civil rights, environmental justice, common sense gun safety laws, and our right to vote are all at risk. And the Court has eroded confidence in our system of government with ethical lapses and lack of transparency.
Supreme Court Justices should be appointed by Presidents who were elected to office by the majority of Americans so their viewpoints reflects the majority. That has NOT been the case due to the Electoral College, which made Republicans Bush & Trump President (who received less votes than their opponent)… and the Senate, which doesn’t represent the majority.
Judge Neil Gorsuch Would Have Let this Trucker Die
On a freezing night in January 2009, Alphonse Maddin was driving a truck with a load of meat through Illinois. The brakes on the trailer froze. The temperature was 27 degrees below zero. As he waited for help, he started having trouble breathing. His skin was cracking and his speech was slurring.
He called his employer. They told him to remain with the truck. Instead, he detached the trailer from the truck and drove to safety. For saving his own life, he was fired by the company. He sued the company and Gorsuch was the only judge who sided against the trucker.
This is just one example of how Republican “Judges” like Gorsuch sides against “Average Joes” and for Big Business / Corporations.
Only One Judge Ruled Against Freezing Truck Driver… Trump’s.

Father Testifies That Gorsuch’s Decision Against Autistic Children Tore His Family Apart

Neil Gorsuch is anti-women and anti-LGBT
Judge Neil Gorsuch, another Horrible Pick of Trump blocked a wrongful death lawsuit of a 22 year old who died after a Police officer used a Taser on him. According to the video, Judge Gorsuch stated the reason for throwing out the lawsuit is because the officer who shot the 22 year old man with the taser has “qualified immunity” which protects government officials from civil liabilities and damages while doing their jobs.
That type of Judicial reasoning would prevent a victim’s family from being able to sue a government official for damages regardless of how egregious the government official’s conduct may be.
This is what you get when you vote for Republicans… no Accountability and no Recourse when your rights are violated.

Claire McCaskill announces she will not support Gorsuch, citing his ‘stunning lack of humanity’
“I cannot support Judge Gorsuch because a study of his opinions reveal a rigid ideology that always puts the little guy under the boot of corporations. He is evasive, but his body of work isn’t. Whether it is a freezing truck driver or an autistic child, he has shown a stunning lack of humanity. And he has been an activist — for example, writing a dissent on a case that had been settled, in what appears to be an attempt to audition for his current nomination”. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)
Videos Shows How Republicans Blocked & Filibustered Obama’s Judicial Appointments
When George W. Bush was president, Democrats approved his conservative judicial nominees. Republicans refused to be as fair & decent to President Obama. They engaged in “Mean Spirited” Partisan Obstruction to everything President Obama tried to accomplish for the American people.
The above video exposes how Graham blocked every Judicial nominee of President Obama, exploiting the deaths of 4 Americans for his own political gain.
Lindsey Graham’s obstruction of President Obama’s nominees is why Harry Reid had no choice but to invoke the “nuclear option” to stop Graham’s and Republicans filibustering Judicial nominee’s of Obama’s.
