Jason Sattler, a USA Today contributor famous for his “LOLGOP” social media accounts, calls for “outrageous obstruction” to the nomination of Justice Neil Gorsuch, arguing: “A popular-vote loser chose him for a stolen Supreme Court seat. No more business as usual.”

From USA Today:

It’s time for the sweet resistance we’re seeing in the streets to start showing up in the U.S. Senate.

Democrats in the chamber have the votes to hold up exactly one major appointment from President Trump without any Republican help. And they should fight Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court with every vote they’ve got — even if it means ending the ability to filibuster any high court nominations in the future.
