Putting your opponent in a lose-lose decision is an effective way of winning, something President Trump likes to do.
By Thomas Lifson February 1, 2017
President Trump just handed the Democrats a lose-lose decision point by nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court vacancy created by the untimely death of Justice Scalia. It is a political masterstroke. And not just because Gorsuch looks like a Central Casting version of a justice, and not because he is smart, articulate, and supremely qualified.
And not even because he disarmed the Democrats by saying a good judge doesn’t always like the outcome of his legal reasoning.
The Dems always look and find “victims” of some decision of a Republican judicial nominee and state therefore that he or she will not protect women, minorities, Muslims, etc. I look forward to Judge Gorsuch explaining this in the hearings.
No, I think this is a masterstroke for entirely different reasons from Gorsuch’s obvious personal appeal and superb qualifications.........
