WATCH: Bernie Sanders denounces Neil Gorsuch as too extreme for court in fiery Senate floor speech

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) denounced Neil Gorsuch’s views as too far outside the mainstream to back him for the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I cannot support a man with his views for a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court,” Sanders said on the Senate floor. “The Supreme Court is the most important judicial body in this country. The decisions that it reaches, even on a 5-4 vote, have a profound impact on all Americans, on our environment and on our way of life.

1. He totally nailed it!

Neil Gorsuch would set back women's rights, workers rights, and voting rights!

BRAVO, BERNIE!

3. Sanders is wrong.

He isn't too far outside of the mainstream. As far as judges across the country, he might be middle right at most. Some will cheer this. Others will see it as yelling at walls.

I'm against Gorsuch on grounds of principle. They denied the electorate the ability to have their constitutionally elected President put someone forward followed by advise and consent by the senate. I won't get over that.

Still, mainstream is not a solid argument.

4. Sorry, you are wrong.

[NCTraveler]

5. Solid.

14. Lol, ok. nt

6. No, Sanders is exactly right! As usual.

Gorsuch is a sociopathic monster with a typical rightwing veneer
of looking like a businessman.

He will always rule in favor of the rich and corporate and against
the best interests of vulnerable groups, meaning anyone or group
that is not white, male, and rich.

7. "sociopathic monster"

Ok.

9. I agree with you.

It's hard to push the "Gorsuch is evil incarnate" meme when so many who say it supported him when he got the 10th circuit nomination.

10. I think compared to the other troglodytes like Pryor that Trump reportedly had under consideration

you're right.

The simple fact is, though, the judge taking that position on the court should be named Merrick Garland. Period, full stop.

12. This all day.

8. I watched the hearing and the Committee meeting yesterday. Several Democratic Senators...

....denounced Gorsuch during those proceedings. Here's Al Franken doing so:

[longship]

15. Oh Al! You've come a long way!

Or maybe not so much. Just maybe you've always had this inside you. There were glimmerings of this throughout your previous career(s). But possibly we just didn't see it.

However, I for one, when you announced your candidacy for the US Senate on Air America, was both sad that you were going to have to go off the air, but were overjoyed about your decision.

You are an honor to both your profession as US Senator as well as your avocation of humorist. Maybe it takes both to be at the cutting edge. And Senator Franken, you surely are.


And an R& for Bernie, too.

[George II]

16. Did you see what he said during the Gorsuch hearing? After characterizing something said....

...by Gorsuch as absurd, he added "and I made a career out of absurdity". The man is brilliant, personable, and funny too!

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Senator Bernie Sanders taking a stand for all of us!

We're fortunate to have Senator Bernie Sanders on our side! GO BERNIE!
