From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “Baldwin’s statements Thursday go far beyond the position she took two days ago, immediately after the Gorsuch pick was announced, when the Wisconsin Democrat said in a statement she would give ‘fair consideration to this nomination’ and ‘fully review’ his record.”
From Politifact Wisconsin: “But now that Baldwin is in the minority and facing a Republican nominee, she is supporting a filibuster that creates a roadblock to reaching that final vote. Her claim to “support” a cloture vote makes no sense since that isn’t up to her party — cloture would be pushed by Republicans and is only needed if Baldwin and other Democrats pursue a filibuster. And that cloture vote would only advance the process, not result in a final decision on Gorsuch. That’s what we call a Full Flop.”
From the Associated Press: “Republicans are accusing Baldwin of being a hypocrite since she had urged the Senate last year to quickly fill the vacancy caused by the death of Antonin Scalia. Republicans who control the Senate refused to take a vote on then-President Barack Obama’s pick Merrick Garland.”
