Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Gorsuch in Party-Line Vote
Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Gorsuch in Party-Line Vote
■ The Senate Judiciary Committee, in a party-line, 11-to-9 vote, sent the nomination of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch for the Supreme Court to the full Senate for consideration.
■ Democrats now seem to have the votes to filibuster Judge Gorsuch’s nomination.
■ But Republicans will most likely vote to change Senate practices later in the week so that Judge Gorsuch could be approved with a simple majority vote.
■ The tenor of the Judiciary Committee strongly suggests that the full Senate debate on Judge Gorsuch will be even more contentious.
