Gorsuch's major opponent in the confirmation hearings is Donald Trump.

Trump boasted about his intention to see Roe v. Wade overturned:  “If we put another two or perhaps three justices, that will happen. That will happen automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro-life justices on the court."

With a bar that low, Gorsuch has done well.  As Conservative Senator Lindsey Graham said: “Quite frankly, I was worried about who he’d pick. Maybe someone on TV.”
