Another development on the senate side of things right now where the Senate Judiciary committee is taking up the nomination of neil gorsuch to be the next Supreme Court justice of the United States to replace Antonin Scalia who died about 13 months ago. That is going to be a drawnout affair here. Keep in mind that each senator on that committee can go ahead and make introductory remarks, confirmation remarks lasting at least ten minute, often times longer than that, Opening Statements that will go at least that long, thereby ole delaying, if not outright canceling the process for the judge to make Opening Statements himself. This is washington where they like to talk, so we thought it a good idea to take you back to the comey hearing where theyre doing a lot of that, something to do with the red team and all of that.
