Spicer: Dems ‘Grasping at Straws’ to Block Confirmation of ‘Unquestionably Qualified’ Gorsuch

EXCERPT:

SPICER: "As I pointed out yesterday, the so-called 60-votes standard is simple not accurate. The Democrats are grasping at straws to block the confirmation of an unquestionably qualified nominee. I'll repeat, neither of the two Supreme Court justices that President Obama put forward were subject to the 60-vote threshold. So although I agree with the Senator Manchin that Judge Gorsuch will probably get 60 -- enough Democrats to get to 60, it's just simply not ever been a requirement."
