This is some seriously next-level Constitutional scholarship… https://t.co/L60cCkYKc2

Where oh where would we be without George Takei to break down current events? This afternoon, he’s taking on Judge Neil Gorsuch’s impending SCOTUS confirmation with his usual political savoir-faire:
Gorsuch will be an illegitimate justice named by an illegitimate president. If Trump colluded with Russia, his appointments won't count.
— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) April 6, 2017
Wow. No doubt there was a lot leading up to this Deep Thought™:
Watching the Gorsuch confirmation vote with @GeorgeTakei.

George! The best part's coming up!
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
OK George, this is where the Resistance tries to delay the vote for two weeks.
(It won't work)
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
This is where they read the names of the Resistance.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
(There weren't enough of them)
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Welp. That didn't work.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Ooh, the Republicans just invoked the Harry Reid rule against the Resistance!
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Delays are super effective!
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Sorry, George. I got called away at work for a minute. You remember work, right?
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Hang in there George. I'm sure the Resistance has something up their sleeves.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
You have to admit, George….Neil's pretty dreamy.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
I mean, imagine that silver-haired fox voting to make men pee in their own bathrooms!!
*SWOON*
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Gosh this is taking FOREVER.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
I wish they'd abort all these votes.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
HuffPo said the Democrats had like a 98% chance of stopping his nomination. I can't believe they were wrong.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Ooo. This is where they count the votes again.
Hold my hand, we'll get through this together. #StrongerTogether
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
You know what? I don't think the Resistance has enough votes. How did that ever happen??
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
It sure got quiet. This must be where the sit-in begins.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Oh, that was Rob Portman. He's from Ohio. Hillary lost Ohio by like a BUNCH.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
That's John Cornyn. He's from Texas, the state you thought would turn purple.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
He's talking about the Harry Reid rule.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
I know, Cornyn's #mansplaining.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Impeccable. That's a big word.
It means the same as unimpeachable.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
This part's where a politician keeps their promise. Not like that keep your plan stuff.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Several hours?? You might want to grab some Chick Fil A.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
This is taking a deplorable amount of time.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
That's a Democrat advocating for an up or down vote on Gorsuch. You should probably primary him with someone more, IDK, Resisty.
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Thanks for tuning in everybody. We'll pick this back up on Friday 🙂 https://t.co/2j06aCn0Oe
— Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) April 6, 2017
Sounds good. In the meantime, we’ll just point and laugh at poor George.
So wrong about this

Pretty sure it won't work that way.

pure fantasy, speaking from a legal point of view
— Alfred Hilderbrand (@alfredhilderbr1) April 6, 2017
.@GeorgeTakei sorry, but that's not in the rules. In politics we play for keeps. Elections have consequences. https://t.co/MiR6SpD7KP

Your idiocy never ceases to amaze me
— Daniel Reese (@peculiarsnail) April 6, 2017
Awww. Well, at least he tried, right?
