Senate Democrats asked a series of eyebrow-raising questions to President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, during his confirmation hearings this week.
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee spent time asking Gorsuch questions ranging from if women could be president to why political advocacy groups are spending money to support his nomination. These questions were designed to damage Gorsuch but proved to be ineffective.
Gorsuch's performance at the confirmation hearings has received near universal praise from pundits and politicians alike; even some Democrats have praised his credentials. But that has not stopped Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) from declaring that Democrats will filibuster Gorsuch's nomination.
