It's time to examine the arguments for and against confirming Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

Republicans are saying that Gorsuch is a universally respected judge whose views almost

always concur with the majority and whose decisions are almost always upheld by higher courts.

Democrats are saying that Gorsuch is a stinky do-do head whose mother wears funny shoes

and who probably kisses girls and gets cooties.

Republicans point out that Gorsuch is an originalist who tries to find the meaning of the law

as was written rather than twisting the constitution into the image of his own personal or political opinions.

Democrats say holy crap if he does that will never get to do any of the things we want.

Also the constitution is a stinky do-do head.

Republicans say elections have consequences and Donald Trump is selected a justice

from a list he made public long before he won the presidency so the voters had a full chance

to vet and approve of his choice. Democrats say Donald Trump wouldn't have won the presidency

if he weren't for the Russians and the electoral college and he cheated and it rained that day

and it was so dark no one could see who they were voting for and the dog ate all the good people's

votes and shut up shut up shut up you stink. Republicans point out that no one has ever used the

filibuster to block a supreme court nomination and to do so on what are purely partisan political

grounds would be both dangerous and un-American. Democrats say we can't hear you because we have

our fingers in our ears and we're singing I've been working on the railroad very loudly. Republicans say

we understand Democrats are in sense that we didn't allow the nomination of a lame duck president

to reach a vote but there is a difference between playing hardball politics and shutting down the

entire country by having a childish tantrum because you didn't get what you wanted. Democrats say

we're going to dig a hole and cover it over with newspaper and cover the newspaper with dirt
