Senator Jon Tester Will Attempt to Filibuster Gorsuch

WASHINGTON D.C. — Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) opposes Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court, a decision that risks the ire of gun owners and other conservatives in deep-red Montana when Tester stands for reelection next year.

In a written statement, Jon Tester claimed that Gorsuch would be part of the spread of “dark money” and would inject the Court “between women and their doctors.”

He also criticized Gorsuch’s recognizing organizations as being capable of asserting legal rights.

Only three Democrats have backed Gorsuch so far. With Tester’s opposition, it becomes increasing likely that Republicans will need to resort to the constitutional option to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat.

This doesn't come as a surprise and it will be interesting to see if Gorsuch is actually seated.  From my understanding, right now there aren't enough votes to confirm him and it is questionable with even the nuclear option used, if they can push him through; there are a couple of RINO's whose vote could go the other way.

This phoney is up for reelection in 2018.  I hope the local GOP is recruiting a good opponent.

Dear Crystal Ball - Tell me oh tell me why Tester has been made the sacrificial lamb of the Democrat Party?

Oh yes, I see now.  You say his plans for re-election were doomed anyway and a sweetheart deal has been struck.  Mr. Tester will be set for life.  Oh thank you Crystal Ball, you always have the answers.
