Merrick Garland Isnt the Only Reason the Democrats Should Filibuster Gorsuch.
The judges treatment of female, minority senators should also give lawmakers pause.
'At first, the story seemed grossly hyperbolic: Two Democratic women of color in the Senate were claiming that Judge Neil Gorsuch had rebuffed their efforts to meet with him, the Huffington Post reported late last week. Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of NevadaDemocrats who will vote on Gorsuchs appointment to the Supreme Court this weekstated that Judge Gorsuchs handlers had declined to honor meetings they had been attempting to schedule since February, despite multiple efforts. Really?
Yes, really. Senate staffers have now confirmed that both women were recently told the judge would not be made available for meetings with them.'>>>
