Key Dem McCaskill to oppose Gorsuch, back filibuster

The Hill reports:

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Friday said she will vote to support a filibuster of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch.

The announcement makes it significantly harder for Gorsuch to muster the 60 votes he needs to overcome a filibuster and advance to a final confirmation vote.

McCaskill announced her opposition in a statement posted to Medium, faulting the nominee for “a stunning lack of humanity.”

She said the nomination of Gorsuch goes against the grain of President Trump’s promise to help working-class Americans because he is “a judge who can’t even see them.”

Comrade McCaskill isn't a big fan of judges following the law.
