Senate Democrats plan filibuster to stop Gorsuch confirmation to Supreme Court

The L.A. Times reports:
Democrats plan a filibuster against Neil Gorsuch, President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court, setting up a Senate fight that they are almost certain to eventually lose.

The long-expected announcement of the filibuster plan came from Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). In a message on Twitter, Schumer said that Gorsuch would "face a cloture vote," referring to the Senate process for filibusters.
It's time to say goodbye to the fiibuster.
