Senator Cornyn Debates Gorsuch Nomination on Senate Floor

Texas Senator John Cornyn engages in the floor debate over the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to sit on the Supreme Court, accusing Democrats of cherrypicking from his 2,700 decisions of which 99 percent were unanimous, grasping at some straw with which to oppose the nominee. Cornyn discusses what he calls a last minute baseless attack that Gorsuch plagiarized for his book on euthanasia, an attempt to filibuster the nominee which he calls disappointing but destined for failure, mentioning the weaponization of the filibuster since unprecedented obstruction of judicial nominees by Democrats during the George W. Bush administration, calling criticisms of Gorsuch paper thin.
