The Democrats will beat up on Gorsuch for awhile, try to score some political points, then will vote to approve him. They'll want to save their ammunition for Trump's next Supreme Court nominee...someone likely to be even more conservative than Gorsuch. Even worse (for them), if Trump runs for and gets elected to a second term, he has the very real possibility of appointing four Supreme Court justices during his administration. If that happens, it will change America for generations.
