Dems defeated. Justice Neil Gorsuch confirmed!

The voting is still ongoing but, seconds ago, Judge Neil Gorsuch received enough "Yeas" to become Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

It's almost impossible to overstate how important this was

We're sure we'll have more on this later, and we're equally sure liberal heads are exploding, but for now ...Celebrate! This is a huge, huge, win. One might even say "Yuge." It's almost impossible to overstate how important this was. Had this seat gone to the radical left, the country would have been irreparably damaged and a whole swath of your rights would have been gutted. Pop the champagne, folks. This one was "All the marbles."
