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."

we bring into the country a higher level of education than its current average - we're good for the country's statistics (admittedly that would be true for any country we moved to).
Most of our clients are foreign, so we're nett exporters - we're good for the country's balance of payments.
We don't use any tax dodges, and probably pay more tax than the average houshold income - we're good for the country's economy.
Why do you think that because I despise one of the most easily despiseable countries in the world that I don't love, and support, the one I've chosen to live in?

Hey, King Cocksand, your post says shit about other people and a whole lot about "well I pay more taxes" and "well I'm smarter than the filthy natives." The entire thing boils down to you thinking you're God's gift to $COUNTRY, how you're taking up the White Man's Burden. None of that is concern for the actual people.
Just...make like an Abit motherboard and stop posting, will you? :/
