Don't Focus on Gorsuch, Focus on Trump
Don't get caught up in the predictable brawl over Neil Gorsuch's credentials or his ideology. That normalizes the Trump presidency.
Instead, there should be no vote on Gorsuch's nomination until Trump's legitimacy as a president is established.
Which means the Senate intelligence committee and F.B.I. must first conclude that Russian operatives were not responsible for Trump's electoral victory, Trump must reveal his taxes, and he must put his assets into a blind trust.
