This Dick Durbin cross-examination of Gorsuch's dissertation prof is a timely reminder that most U.S. senators should probably be deported.

OK, Dick Durbin … you’re up! This is your chance to torpedo Judge Gorsuch’s confirmation, so make it count.
Let’s check in on Tricky Dick’s performance:
#Gorsuch asked about letter by student accusing him of encouraging discrimination against pregnant female lawyers https://t.co/yKRbDMW3i2 pic.twitter.com/kf0kdO1mFD

Holy crap. This is just a wipe out. Look at Durbin being a jackass, and the way Gorsuch handles it with this answer. https://t.co/sZJAoGWpbw

Man. Durbin is really not good at this. Actually, he doesn’t seem to be good at anything today. That’s bad news for him … but great news for viewers.

Wow, did #gorsuch just demolish durbin in that exchange about the law school incident…
— Jeffrey Toobin (@JeffreyToobin) March 21, 2017
In response to Durbin, #Gorsuch just gave one of the most erudite and detailed defense of Hobby Lobby ever offered. #GorsuchHearing

Shorter Durbin: judges should fix laws if Congress screws the up. Judge Gorsuch: don't screw it up in the first place. #GorsuchHearing

Not only is Durbin failing in his attempts to smear Gorsuch, but he's making himself look very bad. I have no respect for Durbin. https://t.co/MfPH9S8Oc0

Gorsuch is pretty great at telling Dem senators that if they don't like him applying the laws as written they should write them differently.

Gorsuch is not taking any baby bullshit from Dick Durbin or any of these crazy Democrats. Gorsuch is such an AWESOME guy! ? #GorsuchHearing

Gorsuch answering Durbin "gotcha questions" like a pro! He is marvelous! Unshakeable! #SCOTUS
— Pat (@grammy620) March 21, 2017
Sen Durbin is visibly frustrated by #Gorsuch repeatedly and deftly thwarting his attacks. #confirmgorsuch

Shame on Gorsuch…for running up the score against a weak opponent.
— Eric H. (@ericinva) March 21, 2017
Judge Gorsuch provides comprehensive response while petty Sen. Durbin sits there with glazed eyes. Seems he can't focus on truth.
— Cynthia Mellinger (@CindyMellinger) March 21, 2017
Senator Durbin, how with does that foot feel that Gorsuch just put up your ass? You are such a dick!
— Doug Fausnaugh (@FausnaughDoug) March 21, 2017
Durbin is such a prick.

Dick Durban did a great job of making Gorsuch look reasonable and competent there.
Well done Senator!
— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) March 21, 2017
Maybe Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch will take Sen. Durbin out for a drink when all this is over.
