Updated Whip Count: Judge Neil Gorsuch Confirmation

Senate Democrats have enough votes to filibuster the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch for the U.S. Supreme Court, making them the first party in history to ever stage a partisan filibuster. However, the development only increases the likelihood that the Republican Senate majority will deploy the so-called “nuclear option” to ensure Judge Gorsuch is confirmed.

People’s Pundit Daily will update the whip count below if and when votes change. Joined by 3 Democrats thus far, Republicans have enough votes to confirm Judge Gorsuch in an up or down vote. But Democrats will try to filibuster a procedural vote known as cloture, which is simply a motion to end debate and move to the up or down vote to confirm.
