Michael Bennet won’t back filibuster of Neil Gorsuch

http://www.denverpost.com/2017/04/03/michael-bennet-will-not-filibuster-neil-gorsuch/

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet won’t support a filibuster of Judge Neil Gorsuch, describing Democratic efforts to block the Colorado native as taking the Senate in the “wrong direction.”

But the Colorado Democrat still won’t say whether he’ll actually vote to put the 10th U.S. Circuit of Appeals judge on the U.S. Supreme Court — even though a full Senate vote is expected Friday.

“Using the filibuster and nuclear option at this moment takes us in the wrong direction,” Bennet said in a statement.
