What can we say about a judge appointed by a Republican president? He will get a lot of questions about abortion from Democrats.
Roberts, Alito and now Gorsuch got all of those questions.
Let me assume a few things about a judge being considered.
First, he or she will be confirmed unless something very dramatic comes up in the hearings..
Second, he or she will be around for a while. Based on life expectancy, any judge nominated today will be around for 25 years. He or she may be around for 3-4 future presidencies. (Judge Stevens was appointed by President Ford in '75 and he lasted for 30 plus years!)
Third, we don't have a clue of what he or she will do in the Court.
So let's drop the politics and just nominate good people of character and integrity.
