Blunt Takes Senate Democrats to Task for Gorsuch Filibuster Threat 3/28/17

On Tuesday, March 28, 2017, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) spoke on the Senate floor to reiterate his support for Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Blunt took Senate Democrats to task for signaling their intention to filibuster the nomination, citing Judge Gorsuch’s exceptional knowledge and qualifications, and the fact that Republicans have never mounted a partisan filibuster against a Supreme Court nominee.
