 Take Two-and-a-Half Minutes to See How Hypocritical Democrats Are on Filibustering Supreme Court Nominees

Numerous Senate Democrats have reversed themselves on prior oppositions to filibusters and preventing Supreme Court nominees from getting "up-or-down" votes as they try to block the nomination of Neil Gorsuch.

While they once decried the "tyranny of the minority" and the idea that judges could be blocked by the minority party, the Chuck Schumer-led party is changing course to stop President Trump's pick for the high court.

Sort of how the GOP blocked Obama's nominee?

Nope, not at all.  Garland's nomination was never voted out of committee--he didn't get a majority vote there.  Gorsuch definitely has majority votes both in the committee and the entire Senate.  The Dems are claiming that they can filibuster his acceptance and block it with 41 votes.  Completely different.
