Here are some highlights from Twitter coverage (aside from the RNLA's coverage) of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Judge Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court, which began today:
The first test of SupCt nominees is to sit still and simulate interest in senators as though they were speaking intelligently.— Matt Franck (@MatthewJFranck) March 20, 2017
Grassley's opening statement focuses on importance of judicial independence, separation of powers. Gorsuch's record shows that in spades.— Carrie Severino (@JCNSeverino) March 20, 2017
If Feinstein's statement is indicative of Democrats' strategy, they are poised to blow this. Unfocused, unfair, and weirdly amateurish.— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjs_DC) March 20, 2017
Sen. Whitehouse--contra Feinstein--says "originalism" favors liberal outcomes and conservative justices were being activist. So which is it?

Dem senator Bennet praises Gorsuch's "outstanding INTEGRITY and intellect." Undercuts Left's baseless claim that Gorsuch is biased jurist.

"In the West, we listen to each other." - Gorsuch in 97% unanimous rulings, 99% in majority. Legit wow. #GorsuchHearing— Ilya Shapiro (@ishapiro) March 20, 2017
