Doesn’t President Trump think it’s in his – and our – interests to get a better handle on the guy he wants to entrust his legacy to in the courts? It certainly makes it fair to ask who advised him that Gorsuch was the right man for the job, and if that’s counsel he’ll continue to seek. It also makes it fair to ask if, as a businessman, Trump would be inclined to hire a key executive when he doesn’t know if the prospect will support or undermine his business plan, and who will play coy if asked in an interview.

Did we dodge the Hillary bullet only to welcome a wolf into the fold? Isn't it in our interests to find out?

Yes!! Extreme vetting, please.
David, this is the angriest I have ever seen Lou Dobbs:

"I believe Gorsuch as really demonstrated a lack of honor and if he has honor, he should withdraw his name out of just the pure disrespect he’s shown our President, his lack of grace. Not very smart for a man with degrees from both Harvard and Oxford."
Liars gonna lie. So you ask him and he lies to you. You still don't get what you want. I think it doesn't matter what his political leanings are. What matters is whether he puts aside his personal feelings when he decides, and abides strictly by what the law/constitution says. He has a body of work which should tell us how he operates. That's the best we can hope for.

Well Bob, the thing is, he doesn't have a body of work to let us know, and he'll be asked in confirmation hearings under oath, so if he flat out lies that becomes impeachable.
I want my gun rights.
Isn't the SCOTUS supposed to be nonpolitical? It does seem a shame that we cannot count on that. Ever since Robert Bork and the hatchet job Ted Kennedy did on him, no candidate qualified or not, is able to be allowed on the court based upon his qualifications alone, but must also be raked over the coals about his political philosophy, which of course they will duck, ala Kagan and Sotomayor.
Bork deserved to be raked over coals.
That's the problem with everyone trusting "testimonials" instead of finding out.
