Common Dreams staff

The second of three days of scheduled hearings for Neil Gorsuch is underway Tuesday as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will grill President Donald Trump's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Gorsuch has received round opposition from progressives who have cited his regressive record on women's rights, workers' rights, and a judicial record that has been widely derided as "far outside the mainstream."
