Also curious your thoughts on him spending $10M a month travelling to the Southern White House? Seems pretty excessive for someone who complained about Obama golfing all the time.

He's not using taxpayer money. He's using campaign funds for his upcoming 2020 run. That's why he filed the paperwork immediately, so he could start campaigning for 2020. Interestingly enough though, Mitch McConnell said that Merrick Garland shouldn't be confirmed during an election campaign because "the people should decide". So if I was the Dems, that's exactly what I would use to not confirm Gorsuch. Trump is already campaigning for 2020, let's hold off on a confirm until the election happens.
