I'm a truck driver and I absolutely would have bobtailed(drove without trailer) in that situation no matter what the company said. That IGNORANT and SELFISH company should have felt lucky that driver did what he did. Had he died there we'd be looking at a very different situation. One piece of good news here is that many of us professional drivers now know a company to avoid if ever looking to move.

He never should have allowed them to force him out of the Senate. Gorsuch should NEVER have been allowed on SCOTUS.

The Senate lost greatly at Franken's leaving. The wrong people are still there.

A freezing man should not be fired for staying alive! Period.

Man, I love this man. I wish like hell they had not woke him out of office. Did he make a mistake? Absolutely.. But was it worthy of getting kicked out? For God's sakes.. Matt Gaetz is still in office.. Jim Jorden is still in office.. WTF? And Gorsuch is so full of feces talking about having to steer clear of politics..

Need to get this guy back in office

Even as a conservative, you really have to appreciate Franken's work here.

Not only you question his judgement, the rest of us are , what happened to common sense…….🙄

Franken did a good job in trying to illicit a biased response from Gorsuch. He was tasked by the committee to use his brashness to attempt to incite Gorsuch to defend himself in an aggressive manner by Gorsuch easily resisted unlike Kavanaugh. Kudos to both professionals.

Franken’s only training was playing a lawyer in a SNL skit. I wish he were my lawyer!

God DAMN I love this guy. don't lie to him. he WILL fuck you up!

Franken is 100% Right.

no way I would vote to approve a man that diverts questions saying they're political. That response could honestly be used for any question.. This guy is SAD

I identify as left-of-center; I respect Gorsuch’s legal acumen and his judicial contributions since joining SCOTUS. He’s not some boogieman like many liberals make him out to be. I HATE how unnecessarily politicized the confirmation process has become. I do not doubt that the Founders knew it was impossible to fully quarantine the process from politics, but I cannot imagine they envisioned it would be steeped in such bad faith pettiness and intellectual dishonesty.

Where is Al Franken when you need him? Run for Senator again.

Looking for a “lifetime” job!I absolutely agree Sen Franklen should still in the Senate!!

I'm so glad Franken is gone. What a clown.

I'd love Franken to run for office, he's blunt, fair, honest and intelligent. I could listen to him all day, learn a lot and get a few good laughs too!

I love how Sen. Franken immediately just continues and brushes off when he notices Neil going on his "sympathetic" deflective and "apologetic" responses rather than actually answer the question.

Please run again, Al Franken!

Frankin needs to be drained from the swamp. He is a mud dweller.

Gorsuch humiliated Franken. Franken humiliated Franken.

Boy! Gorsuch sure doesn't want to answer any questions, does he?! I think it is right and proper to ask about his personal views, how else, besides his previous case rulings, are we to judge his character?

Watching this, it’s plainly obvious why Franken was set up; he was far too effective at questioning.

Goresuck would just speed away in his Mercedes silly Al!!

Supreme Court nominees refuse to answer hypothetical questions yet that's the job they are going to all day long...

I can't tell you how much I miss Senator Franken and how much I hate what they did to him...especially Gillibrand.

this is so frustrating to watch does anyone working under trump know how to answer a question in a straightforward manner? there should be a drinking game where you take a shit every time he says he cant share his opinion

Bring Al Frankenstein back! He was fantastic!

Look even some dems agree Gorsuch is incredibly qualified, stop with the trying to caricature every conservative as 'evil'.

I love Al Franken, but I hate him for not letting Gorsuch finish even one sentence.

Can’t believe we gave this guy a seat on the Supreme Court..

Thank God for Al Franken. Without him, nobody would know how great and solid Neil Gorsuch is.

Franken's frustration is palpable.

Republicans have a different perspective. Money and Corporate profits are outweigh anything else.🤮 Gorsuch’s refusal to answer the question regarding Garland is thoroughly political. Hypocrisy is not a good quality for a judge.

Al Franken should be nominated to SCOTUS... A far better and much more intelligent individual than any of the present members of the court...

Al Franken "Giant of the Senate!"

Franken talks way too much, let Gorsuch speak man...

It doesn't matter what Gorsuch would have done; that's not the question a judge is required to ask themselves in making a judgement. It's what the law permits and does not permit, not what the judge thinks about an individual's situation or motivations. The law doesn't allow for variation based individual circumstances.

Mr Franken. Can you please run for president in 2024. I know you have many that respect and admire you . I being one in those. Thank you

Please do more judges like this. ..especially in the disability field....like ssi

What happened to freaking common sense. It is absurd...

How in the ever living fuck does anyone think this was a good showing for Franken? He's rambling, has a tenuous grasp on the content he's presenting, and is cutting off Gorsuch immediately when he fails to elicit the response he's looking for. I'm no "Republican", but this was embarrassing and hard to watch. Those who feel like Franken "gave it to" Gorsuch have some serious blue blinders on and are clearly misinformed.

Gorsuch sounds a whole lot like a Trump Nazi on defense of the Nazi party

Franken's entire line of questioning, is about as sound as his classifying the judge as a "political activist in Ohio", because the 9 yr old Gorsuch passed out flyers for his mother's campaign...

I miss this guy.

Everybody wants Al franken back in office. I guess that's all right as long as he stops objectifying women

This guy’s chilling demeanor should have disqualified him outright. Patrick Bateman vibes!

The most hilarious part... Gorsuch: makes an intellectual response Franken: listen here buddy I got a pamphlet Gorsuch: wow...just...wow this is the test I must pass

Gorsuch was following the law, his emotions or empathy are irrelevent to following the rule of law why don't these people understand that?

Gosuch would have Froze to death, just out of sheer Stupidity !

Al was right all the way...

The beginning was really confusing without context 😂😂

He needs a lesson in mechanics. If the air lines are froze, he has more than one problem.If the brakes are locked he cannot move it.Wake up and smell the coffee.If the air lines are frozen there is water or moisture in the brake system.This situation is totally unrealistic.

Why Franken is not still a Senator is a national tragedy....!

I really like Al Fraken, but in this case, he seemed to be wanting to draw out how Judge Gorsuch feels about scenarios or how he might approach scenarios if they were litigated before him. The reality is that despite any concern about how a judge's personal feelings might influence his or her decisions, it would be inappropriate for him to convey that. If he did, I would think any answer he gave would indicate a lack of fairness, or it would indicate an inability to make unbiased judgments. And in terms of how he might approach scenarios not yet before him, the answer should be that he would approach them based on the law, regardless of what nice things Conservatives might say about him or the President who appointed him.

Wow just love the look on Gorsuch face at 15:06 it says it all LOL

I'm smug enough, I virtue signal enough, and gosh darn it, people vote for me

Pease run for senior again, we need you to call these people up.

Maybe Franken should replace Thomas on SCOTUS - nothing says a SCOTUS justice needs to be a lawyer or have prior judicial experience. Franken’s common sense speaks volumes.

Regardless of political view, that was at times just painfull to watch

I wished Sen. Franken didn’t resigned…we sure do need more senators like him.

All was a great senator and for asilly mistake he resigned out of a sense of contrition . If any Republican would do as much there would be no more GOP as they are without honour.

"Justice Neil Gorsuch filed a longer (33-page) concurring opinion in which he emphasized that “[t]oday, the Court places a tombstone on Chevron no one can miss. In doing so, the Court returns judges to interpretative rules that have guided federal courts since the Nation’s founding.” He sought to downplay the impact of Friday’s ruling, contending that “all today’s decision means is that, going forward, federal courts will do exactly as this Court has since 2016, exactly as it did before the mid-1980s, and exactly as it had done since the founding: resolve cases and controversies without any systemic bias in the government’s favor.”

Why do they let non-lawyers on the judiciary committee

How I miss Al Franken.

Frankenstein showed way back 5 years ago or so that Gorsuch was unfit to serve on the SCOTUS. An honourable man would resign.

Al Franken for president 2024

I'm by no means partisan, but that was a pretty devastating "exchange".

Heard on the street...“Franken used to be a comedian but now he’s just someone people laugh at.”

Justice Gorsuch answered Franken about as well as he could. Franken has no ethics, so he says whatever he wants. Gorsuch to say anything that will allow him (Franken) to say, 'There you go, we got you.' Gorsuch went on to SCOTUS, and Franken went on to be found out to be a despicable and terrible sexist, and then he was fired by the citizens of his state. He (Franken) preaches honor and shows he has none.

Any truck driver who can't get his brakes unfrozen shouldn't be driving truck. He should be fired.

Franken is the stereotypical liberal. There's a big difference between someone who is political when they are not a judge. Franken is asking lots of questions he knows the nominee can't answer, so he looks evasive. He is exactly what is wrong with our political system.

I’m very much of a liberal but I think Franken is a bit crazy...

A non lawyer making a fool of himself trying to argue law with a judge.

Love you Al. We need you. Women need you in government.

The argument put forward is, the driver has hypothermia and it wasn't safe to drive as his ability to react was impaired. Yet somehow, the removal of the trailer was able to change this medical condition, making it safe for him to drive. What?

for a party that claims to be all about job creation, these guys sure don't seem to concern themselves with job protection

It's ok for Ruth Ginsberg to have personal opinions but not Neil Gorsuch!

Al Franken will always be my man, what is wrong with the dam ppl that sent Al Franken to the house! He did no sexual harassment of any kind, I want him reinstated ?

Gorsuch schooled Franken on laws! He's not judging on mere opinion or personal views but by the law.

Yea I know he’s great knowledgeable, bright, and can see lies before the judge finishes his lies or misdirection,wish he get back in the senate.

Al, I nominate you as the Best Ex-Senator ever, for how many of us you have helped with your podcasts and videos. I nominate TFG as Worst Ex-President ever, for continuing to attack our democracy. Sen. Byrd gets my nomination for words ex-Senator. Best Ex-President goes to the guy whose middle name was Earl. Do I hear any “seconds” to any of these nominations?

The hypocrisy of Republicans never ends. When the judge says he empathize with the truck driver but not as much as the company who was losing money because the truck driver put his life over corporate profits. What a bunch of thugs. . I WISH AL WAS STILL IN THE SENATE..

"When there's a scridner there?" "A *'scrivener's error'*" "Oh." Lmao

Once again, its Al Franken dying on stage. He's fishing so hard for some semantic slipup its almost pathetic to see a grown man sink so low. This is what it looks like when you're rifle is out of ammo and you're throwing empty shells at the deer.

Is there a single Democrat with the kind of class of a Neil Gorsuch? Don't answer that.

"I don't mean to cut you off but we don't have time" , however I can go on and on and on about absolutely nothing.

I miss you terribly Al, no BS-in such a BS bubble

He should not be on supreme court!

AL FRANKEN FOR PRESIDENT, AFTER TRUMP GETS IMPEACHED

l believe, the more I learn about this judge,the more frightened I become for the future of my children and grandchildren, especially my granddaughters. He's the devil in this profoundly endearing guise of a caring, fair minded human being suffering with the empathy he feels for the less fortunate humans whose lives he's going to impact. The face of an angel with a very dark soul. This guy is a machine with a ruthless agenda seemingly devoid of concern for the human condition from viewing woman as scammers for maternity benefits when seeking employment to non whites dissenting against racist practices as trouble makers, terrorists who are out of order. Gorsuch calls himself an Originalist, referring to his interpretation of the Constitution in law, I guess, part of the set of documents which state somewhere in the written words that "all men are created equal", however his judgements whenever it's human beings challenging the the unfairness of laws and mandates of a corporation, rules which have endangered the well being of humans, endangered their very lives, this person, Gorsuch, sides with the corporations. How does that happen if you are an "Originalist"? He's a well tuned machine bought and paid for by some very nasty people who want to dismantle our society. WE definitely need fixing but not the kind of fixing these people have in mind. Their ideas and plans for this country are far more disturbing, dangerous and brutal than anything ISIS or Putin can dish out right now. They are the BEST of the distractions. Everyone needs to wake up and get involved in what is happenlng in this (corporation owned?) "government". Not just the politicians. Those politicians who haven't sold their souls to corporate donors, whatever your party, need to start getting this right and get the people you pledged to represent back in your agendas. Gorsuch should not be nomonated. He's poison. Dems know it and any Rep with a conscience knows it. Listen to your constituents and your hearts if you still have them.

This NEVER gets old...it’s even better after Al’s departure and Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Gorsuch was a political appointee. How does it serve the American people for him to decline to say anything substantive about his political views? Recent nominees are so far to the right, it would be good to get at least some of that on the record. Their silence speaks volumes. In the end, confirmation is all but assured according to which party holds the Senate.

They say Gorsuch was hostile, but he seemed like he was defending himself.

I'm so excited Judge Gorsuch is in the spotlight! He is a great judge!

I appreciate Al Franken's questioning, but Gorsuch handled them quite well. He was a good pick for the Supreme Court although Garland also deserves to be there. Kavanaugh is a nightmare and should not have been confirmed.

I find Gorsuch incredibly fake.

The man's choice is not evident. Live or lose your job. He chose correctly.

Gorsuch is a beast. Good for him.
