Next Friday, Neil Gorsuch is expected to be confirmed to the Supreme Court by "nuking" the Democrat filibuster. After that, the topic will be lost in the news cycle due to the many other Trump issues vying for attention. So next Thursday is probably our last chance to discuss this most important topic.
The issues surrounding this topic are mostly old news that we just did not have time to discuss because of all the other Trump stuff we covered. Rather than going back to old news clips, I found material from the late night comedians that we can use to setup our discussion. We will show excerpts from the following videos:
- Sam Bee on the Biden Rule
- Trevor Noah on Trump's Gorsuch announcement
- Seth Meyers on the Senate hearings
- Al Frankin on the case of the "Frozen Trucker", Part 1 and Part 2
Calling Senator Al Franken a comedian may be stretch, but his reputation as a comic follows him even in serious matters. When Franken was a comic, he exposed the absurdity of Rush Limbugh, and he continues his fight against nonsense in the Senate.
Coincidentally, a recent video on VOX, praises the role of comedians in the current political climate.
