I will.
Of course, Mr. Gorsuch was Mr. Trump's pick.

But -- in a "moment of extreme need" -- Mr. McConnell "came through" by forcing the vote and throwing out a filibuster by the democrat-communists.
For this, he deserves great credit.
Why can't Mitch fight like that ALL the time? (sigh)

Having written that...
... Will Mitch be ready to fight for the NEXT TWO Supreme Court nominees, assuming they are as conservative or even moreso than was Mr. Gorsuch....?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Addendum:
I posted the above BEFORE I read about Justice Kennedy's retirement.
Seems like those inquirin' minds are gonna find out real soon!

From the Kagan dissent:

Quote
Rarely if ever has the Court overruled a decision—letalone one of this import—with so little regard for theusual principles of stare decisis.
She clearly does not remember the Warren Court.

Nor read any of their decisions.

She wasn't picked for her legal acumen.

Isn't this where someone works in a Union Shop and if they quit the Union, they still have to pay Union Dues?

Yes. Or, they may have never joined the union in the first place.

By far the most important opinion in a decade.

Nobody will ever give McConnell credit, though.

@Suppressed

McConnell gets credit as deserved, just like everybody else.  Personally, that is.
