The Senate has already reconvened and is now handling the Gorsuch nomination today while the Democrats are filibustering.
Watch below:
Here are some tweets by McConnell in the last few minutes:
What Dems are doing w/ @GorsuchFacts is radical, something completely unprecedented in the history of the United States #Senate. #SCOTUS

Despite Dems attempted filibuster of Alito, no member of the Republican Conference has ever voted to filibuster a #SCOTUS nominee. Ever.

.@washingtonpost observed in '13 the Dem Nuclear Option was not in response to rampant obstruction but was, quite simply, a “power play.”

When Pres #Obama nominated Sotomayor & Kagan, we treated each nominee fairly & secured an ⬆️or⬇️ vote for both, not filibustering. #SCOTUS

When Justice Scalia passed, the #Senate followed the standard first set forth by then-Sen #Biden & then expanded upon by Sen Schumer himself

Despite a bipartisan majority, Dems appear poised to block this nominee w the 1st successful partisan filibuster in American history #SCOTUS
— Leader McConnell (@SenateMajLdr) April 6, 2017
#Senate Dems pioneered the practice of filibustering lower court judicial nominees & the first partisan filibuster of a #SCOTUS nominee.
— Leader McConnell (@SenateMajLdr) April 6, 2017
This #SCOTUS nomination is the latest escalation in the Left’s never-ending judicial war, the most audacious yet, and it cannot stand.

He continues to tweet that but pretty much sums up his position.
