Blumenthal: If I Conclude Gorsuch Is out of the Mainstream, I Will Filibuster

‘I will use every tool available, including the filibuster’

EXCERPT:

BLUMENTHAL: "If I conclude he’s out of the mainstream and he fails to be more forthcoming in his response to my questions, I will use every tool available, including the filibuster. Let me be very clear, Chris. A Supreme Court nominee, an appointee for life to the nation’s highest court should be approved by more than a razor thin margin. There should be bipartisan consensus behind that nominee. So it’s more than just the concern about this nominee. It is also a really deepening interest that I think the American public shares in making sure there is bipartisanship and support for this nominee."
