Political... Great Supreme Court pick ceremony....

I hope they'll try their very best to "mess it up". You know, kind of like how the Republicans did for the past year on Garland.

Wouldn't be my choice but he isn't an absolute disaster. Right? RIGHT?!?

I think he will be fine.

I sincerely hope the Dems dont pull the tit for tat crap everyone is expecting. Put him through the vetting process, and either confirm him or don't, but let's not drag this out. I wish the Repubs hadn't done that to Garland, I thought he was fine too. But they did, and it's done and over with. Hopefully everyone can be grown-ups and do their jobs this time around.

I want them to block it at least 9 months.. why give them what they want... they played games over the last year.

I think we should follow Senator McConnell's heartfelt words and wait until the next election before we even consider any nominee. That way the people can decide.

I am surprised and I guess should be grateful that he picked an actual judge.

It is hard not to want the Democrats to completely block.

The Republicans flat out stole what should have by all rights been an Obama pick.

What GOP did to Obama over Garland was disgusting. I hope the Dems don't respond in kind. Disgusting behavior is discouraged for a reason. It lowers the standards and makes every next action more open to more disgusting behavior.

I agree with this!

It concerns me that he consistently sides with big business. He is said to be a textualist who interprets the constitution exactly as written. Yet he also says that law needs to be willing to acknowledge that cases are not black and white but filled with shades of gray. How these views will play out in SC decisions is up in the air. He comes across as thoughtful, intelligent and well spoken and is considered a gifted writer.

Personally as a left leaning citizen I hope the democrats do not block his appointment. Chances are great that DT will have the opportunity to put more than one justice on the court. I would prefer that they save their fight fo what could be a more controversial choice down the road. With this appointment the court will have the same balance as when Scalia was sitting. I can live with that. Blocking this choice would, in my opinion, be petty and would play out poorly in the long run. Republicans went low with President Obama's nomination. Democrats need to go high and play the long game.

Interested in hearing more about what you feel makes him great.

Not "wow"

Your OP was bitchy.

Isn't it ironic, with all the republicans and conservation calling liberals/democrats names that were the ones CONSTANTLY taking the high road?

Please don't use the word 'all' with republican and conservatives. We all are not calling people names. And in this thread alone, there have been people who have said that what the Republicans did was wrong. 

I don't know, I'm sort of disappointed. I was warming up to opinions written by Judge Judy.
