    We have Gorsuch on the SC because the Republicans had a majority in the Senate and wouldn’t confirm Obama’s appointment.

    Manchin voted to confirm Gorsuch.

      Yes. Which is one of the many reasons why he’s a piece of shit.

      The point I was making is that not having a Democratic majority in the Senate allows the Republicans to pull stupid shit like not confirming appointments, not letting any bills be voted on, and by letting a turtle run the Senate. When we lose Manchin, we’ll be in a situation where the Republicans could prevent any judicial confirmations from happening, assuming they pick up 2 seats.
