Progressive groups elated by the collapse of Republicans’ Obamacare replacement bill already have their sights on the next major battle: the fight to confirm President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. They are hoping that the experience of drawing blood from Trump will inspire Senate Democrats to filibuster Gorsuch. Democrats alone can block him.”Neil Sroka, communications director for the online progressive heavyweight Democracy for America, sounded a similar note. “A victory like this one should certainly remind Senate Democrats of the power that comes from sticking together, something that will be exceedingly important for the Gorsuch fight,” Sroka said. Sweeney too believes that the defeat of the American Health Care Act, as the Republican legislation was known, should strengthen Democrats’ determination to block Gorsuch.
