Senate Democrats have been doing everything they can to obstruct President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch from becoming Associate Justice.
Though Gorsuch was confirmed almost unanimously by the Senate to his current post, they have chosen to attack him, not on his merits, but because he would be the perfect fit to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
There was a setback to their plan, however. The American Bar Association released a letter giving Judge Gorsuch the best possible rating you can give someone for the judgeship.
According to The Daily Caller,
The American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary v**ed unanimously to rate Neil Gorsuch as “well qualified” to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States.
“Well qualified” is the best possible rating a Supreme Court nominee can receive from the ABA.
The ABA announced the v**e Thursday in a letter to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, respectively.
The letter contained this message,
“The ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary has completed its evaluation of the professional qualifications of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, whom the President has nominated to the United States Supreme Court. As you know, the Committee confines its evaluation to the qualities of integrity, professional competence, and judicial demeanor,” the letter states.
“After an exhaustive evaluation process, the Committee has determined by unanimous v**e that Judge Gorsuch is ‘Well Qualified’ for the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.”
This will not stop Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) from continuing to obstruct the process of confirmation. The Democrats have been seeing blood since the GOP refused to confirm former President Obama’s pick for a replacement Judge Merrick Garland whose hopes of ascension were dashed after President Trump’s victory in the 2016 e******n.
This letter from the ABA, however, will be give President Trump and the Republicans more leverage for the appointment.
