Neil Gorsuch TV ad....

This is the first time that I have seen a commercial on national broadcast supporting a nominee to the Supreme Court. It was paid for by the 'Judicial Crisis Network' and a little digging around finds that the JCN is funded in part by the Koch brothers. The Judicial Crisis Network has pledged $10M for the TV ads. So far I've seen two different commercials, one with a nice white lady who claims she worked for the Obama team telling us she finds nothing at all wrong with supporting hizzoner Gorsuch. The second ad shows the judge horsing around in the stables in jeans and a plaid shirt with some lady that is presumably his missus. The tag line to this commercial is 'he knows his way around a barn.' Trump needs 60 votes to confirm this Scalia clone to a seat on the supremes and that means some Dems will have to vote for him. Let us not forget how congress treated Judge Garland when the time came...
