发帖数: 61690 | 1 Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is signaling that he could buck Democratic
leadership and help President Trump's Supreme Court nominee clear a 60-vote
threshold in the Senate.
“I am not inclined to filibuster, even though I’m not inclined to vote for
him," Leahy — a former ranking member on the Judiciary Committee — told a
Vermont news outlet.
Neil Gorsuch will need 60 votes — including the support of at least eight
Democratic senators — to overcome an initial procedural hurdle. GOP
leadership has refused to rule out using the "nuclear" option, which would
allow Gorsuch and future Supreme Court nominees to clear the Senate with
only a simple majority.
Leahy warned Republicans against going nuclear, saying that eliminating the
60-vote threshold to end debate on a nominee "hurts everybody."
“I was very reluctant to see us the use nuclear option, though I don’t
think we would have seen any of President Obama’s judges go through without
it," he told VTDigger.
Senate Democrats under the leadership of then-Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-
Nev.) got rid of the 60-vote requirement on executive and lower court
nominations.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said late last week that he
would oppose Gorsuch and urge his Democratic colleagues to reject him.
“He will have to earn 60 votes for confirmation. My vote will be no, and I
urge my colleagues to do the same,” he said on the Senate floor.
Thirteen Democratic senators have come out against Gorsuch's nomination,
according to The Hill's whip list.
While most members of the Democratic caucus's progressive wing have said
they will oppose him, the 10 Democrats up for reelection in states carried
by Trump — who could make or break Gorsuch's nomination — have largely
stayed on the fence.
Leahy added that while he has "seen nothing that will bring me to vote for
Gorsuch," he's waiting to see his additional written answers before making
an official decision. | f*******e
