Senate Republicans were finally able to secure the votes needed to confirm President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick, Neil Gorsuch. The confirmation ends what has been a dramatic showdown in the Senate between Republicans and Democrats. Gorsuch will fill the vacant seat left by the late Antonin Scalia. Gorsuch, a respected conservative, will continue to support the court's ideological tilt. The Senate envoked the "nuclear option" yesterday after Democrats filibustered the Gorsuch pick, lowering the bar for the amount of votes needed to pass a Supreme Court nominee.
