Democrat Senator Spends the Night Filibustering Judge Gorsuch’s Nomination
By Onan Coca April 5, 2017
Liberal Democrat Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) spent the evening filibustering the most qualified candidate for the Supreme Court we’ve seen in 20+ years. He began speaking at 6:45pm on Tuesday night and was still going as this story went to publication.
The question is… why?
Normally, when someone launches a filibuster there is a credible reason to hold up legislative action and to shine a spotlight on a cause.
