Senator schumer thank you, everyone, for being here as we arm up the crowd for the spectacular. Senator whitehouse i am here with i our minority leader, chuck schumer, and my friend and former attorney general colleague, dick blumenthal, to call for a little bit of daylight into the dark money that is presently shadowing the nomination of judge gorsuch.

Bush became president and Senate Democrats then began unprecedented filibusters of federal judicial nominees. I hope that next week the democrats do not choose to filibuster judge gorsuch, a candidate for whom they voted unanimously just a decade ago. If they do, i am confident the senate will return to the rules that gove
