No one can be disappointed by the amount of hyperbole we’re getting already over President Trump’s announcement that he is nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., declared on Twitter almost instantly after the announcement that the same judge he had voted to put on the 10th Circuit in 2006 was “a breathtaking retreat from the notion that Americans have fundamental Constitutional rights.”

Nancy Pelosi went further than that, declaring that “if you breathe air, drink water, eat food, take medicine, or in any other way interact with the courts, this is a very bad decision. Well outside the mainstream of American legal thought. Not committed to Supreme Court precedents.”
