McConnell: Dems ‘Are Really Struggling’ to Come up with Arguments Against Gorsuch

‘This is an outstanding nomination, you could argue, the most outstanding judge in the current appellate court system’

RUSH EXCERPT:
McCONNELL: "No. No, I have not said what will happen at that point. I’m confident that we will get 60 votes. Look, this justice — this nominee ought to be treated just like President Clinton and President Obama were treated. In the first term of President Clinton, two Supreme Court nominees, no filibuster, no filibuster. We were in the minority, like they are right now. President Obama, in his first term, two Supreme Court nominees. My party was in the minority. No filibuster. What we’re arguing here for is equivalency. They’re having a very, very difficult time, Jake, trying to come up with arguments against Judge Gorsuch. This is an outstanding nomination, you could argue, the most outstanding judge in the current appellate court system. So, they are really struggling to try to figure out some basis upon which to oppose him."
