Uh, Merrick Garland?
Today on Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D) Facebook page:
Last April, Claire met with President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Chief Judge Merrick Garland, after strongly urging her Republican colleagues to do their job and consider the President’s nominee. Today, in that same spirit, she met with President Donald J. Trump’s nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch.
As a former Jackson County prosecutor, Claire sat down with Judge Gorsuch to hear from him on his record and views. “I was glad for the opportunity to sit down with Judge Gorsuch,” said Claire. “I’m looking forward to seeing his confirmation hearing.”
In case you haven’t noticed yet, Claire, they’ve already lit their torches.

How about a primary challenge? Jason Kander v. Claire McCaskill? (February 6, 2017)
I called Claire’s local office last week to thank her (via staffer) for her vote against DeVos coming up. I asked the staffer if Claire would resist the hearing of Gorsuch or resist as the gop did Garland. She intends to give him a fair hearing. I was not pleased. I know a filibuster may not be possible, but Claire, I would support you for not being cooperative with this nominee who is not a good candidate especially for fairness that we would want in the tie-breaking Supreme Court judge.
