MAGA ACTION ALERT

Confirmation of Neil Gorsuch
Supreme Court Justice

The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote Monday on President Donald Trump's nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Judge Gorsuch had a vast and distinguished legal career, having clerked for Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy, had a successful private practice from 1995 to 2005, and became a Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice preceding his Appointment to the Tenth Circuit.

Judge Gorsuch is well respected by his legal peers having sailed through the confirmation process following his appointment by President George W. Bush to the Tenth Circuit.
Judge Gorsuch has earned the highest possible rating from the American Bar Association (ABA). The ABA's standing committee on the federal judiciary was unanimous in granting Gorsuch its highest rating.

Since he was nominated, Judge Gorsuch has won high praise from newspapers across the country. ◼ Click here.

Krauthammer On Hagel: His Problem Isn't A Paper Trail, It's Lack Of Competence

◼ link, VIDEO - Real Clear Politics

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: His problem isn't a paper trail; his problem is a demonstrated, incredibly remarkable lack of competence. Look, the two lines of attack on him up until today were one, ideological, the content of what he's been saying over the years is out of the mainstream way out there, to the left of Obama. As McCain pointed out, he's a guy who got the surge completely wrong and he himself called the Iraq war a disaster and he voted to authorize the war. The first line on attack was on the content, the second one is on how honest is he because he's been denying essentially the essence of a dozen statements and ideas that he said in the past. And now, he says all of the sudden, 'Oh no, you know, on Iran, I changed my mind.'

All of the sudden, you know, he has seen the light on a dozen issues, overnight, as he's being challenged in Congress. But what happened today was shocking, because it showed an astonishing lack of competence. I mean, he was wobbly, he was weak, bumbling. As we saw in the first clip, he didn't, when he said, when he corrects himself, on containment and says, you know, well, I was wrong about supporting containment, our policy is that we don't have a policy on containment, it showed he's no idea about the single most grave issue facing the United States. Containment of Iran or not, and he was corrected by a Democrat. And then on the Israel issue, he was completely humiliated by Senator Graham when he was asked you said the Jewish lobby.
