Elizabeth Warren Calls for Postponement of Gorsuch Hearing Until After Trump FBI Investigation

By Sarah Jones on Tue, Mar 21st, 2017 at 7:00 pm


Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) doesn’t think the Senate should proceed forward with the Supreme Court nomination hearings as if there is no Russian smoke clouding President Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

Warren noted that Gorsuch is up for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court by a President “whose campaign is under FBI investigation… for collusion w/ Russia. Lifetime court appointments can wait.”

Warren’s message is what all Democrats should be saying in public appearances. This is not about revenge or even Gorsuch’s stance on issues. This is about the investigation into Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. What kind of insane government would sit back and allow someone under investigation for treason to appoint a lifelong position to the highest place in the third arm of the government, part of the checks and balances that are supposed to make this country work.

The founders never anticipated Congressional Republicans being willing to sell their own country out, so Congress is not functioning as a check and balance due to Republican cowardice or perhaps something more sinister.

The only area of federal government left untainted by Russian control right now is the Supreme Court.

1. Is anybody worried this'll have the opposite effect and make partisan-hack Comey rush to close

the investigation without fully investigating?

[bettyellen]

2. Nope. There's too much there.

4. Agree

8. The only time he's moved fast on anything was the last

Time he went after hillary. Befor that, he drug Hillary s investigation out almost over 2 years.
Im sure the Repubs would push back.
If we had an AG, but we only have a Deputy who is about to be replaced, that could help.

I don't know, DT might fire Comey if he's getting too close, and appt someone worse.

3. Absolutely. We have to know what kind of criminal president we have here.

And to what extent his criminal cronies also took part and who needs to be fired or arrested.

Save the republic!

5. KNR Thank you!

6. Great idea... I'm all for it!

[Gothmog]

7. This hearing should be delayed

[Alice11111]

9. Oh, golly, gosh, golly, how? protests on hill, sit downs and boycotts by senators

We still lack the votes, Filibusrer and see what happens. Delay works about half the time, as circumstances change , in all of life.

Any ideas of how to do it? I just hear do it, without ideas.
