More than a decade ago, many Democrats still in office now went along with Gorsuch as he was unanimously confirmed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in July 2006. Things are different today, ahead of his hearing for the highest court in the land.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., expressed deep doubts during a press conference last Wednesday about the nominee and asserted Gorsuch "may act like a neutral, calm judge," but "his record and his career clearly show he harbors a right wing, pro-corporate, special interest agenda."
[...] Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy said he would demand "real answers" to questions he has about Gorsuch's judicial philosophy.
"I hope next week, when the president's Supreme Court nominee will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he provides transparent, truthful answers to Senators' questions," Leahy said in a statement. "I will insist on real answers from Judge Neil Gorsuch, because there are real concerns about his record and his judicial philosophy."

He was -already- nominated--by Trump.
The word you seek is "approved".
because he is obviously qualified
More importantly, because there are 52 Reds and 48 Blues.
The only significant thing that will come out of this is the names of the Blues who will vote to approve.
...and whether this will be those folks' last term in the senate.

Something I noticed about Gorsuch is how gray he is for 49. [denverpost.com]
Is he using gray hair dye to look older and more wise?
