Democrats question suitability of President Trump's nominee to Supreme Court

     Hearings have begun into the suitability of American President Donald Trump's nominee to be the next Supreme Court judge.
     Democrats are angry that Republicans blocked hearings into President Obama's choice, allowing incoming Donald Trump to nominate conservative Judge Neil Gorsuch.
     Democratic Senators  accused Gorsuch of being pro-corporation at the expense of ordinary people, but Judge Gorsuch told the hearing that he was fair to everyone.
