CNN’s Toobin: Gorsuch Confirmation ‘Great Day for the Conservative Movement’

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: "He was a law clerk for Anthony Kennedy. He’s 49 years old. He’s very likely to be on the Supreme Court for several -- for several decades. And this re-establishes a conservative majority on the court, replacing Antonin Scalia with -- with another conservative. And you know, there have only been 112 Supreme Court justices in American history. So anytime one is confirmed is a major event in our history, and the court will change. And Byron White was served on the court for many years, and he used to say, when you change one justice, you don’t just change one justice, you change the whole court. The dynamics change. There are now going to be three justices in their 50s — Justice Kagan, Justice Sotomayor, and actually one in their 40s. So, there will be somewhat of a younger group. And you know, this was a great day for the conservative movement in this country. I mean, the difference between Merrick Garland and Neil Gorsuch is enormous, whether it's on issues like citizens united, campaign finance, on affirmative action, on abortion rights, you will see a huge difference in how they would have voted."
