Democrats Delay Gorsuch Supreme Court Panel Vote For One Week

While Democrats debate whether or not to filibuster the Neil Gorsuch nomination for Supreme Court, moments ago they delayed for one week an initial committee vote on Gorsuch. As The Hill first reported, Senator Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the committee, said Democrats had requested that the committee’s vote on Gorsuch be punted to next week.
“I understand that the minority would like to hold [him] over,” Grassley said during the Judiciary Committee’s meeting on Monday. Under committee rules any one member can request that a nomination be held the first time it appears on the agenda.
