> I didn't vote but I'll venture to guess the comment's sort of cheer leading a cause / for / against various groups was the reason for the votes.

The way I read it, he's just saying that conservatives didn't expect Gorsuch's decision. That is not cheering anything.

The comment is gone now but I think it cited some specific groups that to me weren't obviously part of the case / didn't note their opinion, and outside that I'm not sure they really said much about expectations... more so cheer leading that disappointment those groups might feel.

Granted the more we parse a comment the less nonsensical this all gets ;)

I read it the opposite way. It looked like a comment celebrating the conservatives' loss more than one celebrating the progress made today. The edit confirmed it. A lot people here - regardless of political orientation - don't appreciate those types of comments, because they're not really about furthering discussion at all, but rather 'rubbing it in' to the side of the argument you don't like.

Ah, I see what you mean. Thank you for explaining.
