ICYMI: Miami Herald: Gov. Scott: Judge Gorsuch supremely qualified for high court

Posted on March 28, 2017

We should demand better. The men and women who were elected to represent their districts and states have a duty to actually represent them. Working to obstruct progress at any price is why people hate politics and a large part of why voters elected President Trump to make major changes.
…
When Judge Gorsuch was appointed to the Tenth Circuit, the Senate approved him unanimously. No one objected. In business, this sort of appointment is what we would call a no-brainer. He has a solid track record of judicial philosophy and is a federalist who respects state rights.

Sen. Bill Nelson announces he will vote "no" on Gorsuch

Posted on March 27, 2017

U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) announced today that he will vote “no” on Judge Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
“Deciding whether to confirm a president’s nominee for the highest court in the land is a responsibility I take very seriously,” Nelson said. “Over the past few weeks, I have met with Judge Gorsuch, listened to the Judiciary Committee’s hearings and reviewed his record with an open mind. I have real concerns with his thinking on protecting the right to vote and allowing unlimited money in political campaigns. In addition, the judge has consistently sided with corporations over employees, as in the case of a freezing truck driver who, contrary to common sense, Judge Gorsuch would have allowed to be fired for abandoning his disabled rig during extreme weather conditions.
“I will vote no on the motion to invoke cloture and, if that succeeds, I will vote no on his confirmation.”
