The stolen Supreme Court seat taken...

Gorsuch was supposed to be the biggest story of the day — until Syria
Throughout this week, we thought the headline for today's news would be Gorsuch's probable confirmation to the Supreme Court — something the Republicans changed Senate rules to make happen.

But that all changed last night after Orangutan ordered airstrikes against an airbase in Syria — a direct response to a chemical attack earlier this week by Assad's regime. Lawmakers on the Hill have shifted their attention to figuring out what Orangutan's next step in Syria might be.

Speaking on the Senate floor — where they will soon vote to confirm Gorsuch — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said there will be an all senators briefing today about Syria and last night’s airstrikes.

But even before this, Gorsuch's confirmation was never seriously in doubt and he flew remarkably under the radar.
