Judge Gorsuch is one step closer to The US Supreme Court. high court. Senators took one step closer to end the judicial filibuster.

GOP leaders vow that Mr. Gorsuch will be confirmed "one way or another," therefore we're witnessing a process in the US Senate that is not noble. It is politics at its most raw, the kind that equally confounds and repulses those with weak stomachs or little experience with governance.

The Senate Judiciary Committee Monday, on a straight party-line 11-9 vote, favorably recommended the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court. http://politi.co/2nWDyeo
