The old gunslinger is known as the fastest man in the West. He is so quick that he fires his gun before it is out of his holster; and guess what? He has shot himself in the foot.
The forces aligned to work for the defeat of President Donald Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, are about to shoot themselves in the foot. Why Courts Matter is an organization that is made up of a coalition of groups now on the warpath to defeat the president’s nominee. The organization has done many good things in the past. During the Obama administration, Why Courts Matter lobbied the president to do his job of nominating candidates for the federal courts. The president was not doing a very good job of proposing candidates. Those he proposed tended to come from corporate and U.S. attorney backgrounds. I was one of those who went to the White House and sat in the Roosevelt Room, listening to the administration’s reason for not proposing more candidates, thus helping to create and prolong the crisis in many districts throughout the country.
