Here's how senators plan to vote on Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch

Monday afternoon during the judiciary hearing, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware became the 41st senator to say he plans to filibuster, giving Democrats enough votes to sustain the debate. By Tuesday afternoon, 44 senators had said they would oppose cloture on Gorsuch's nomination.

Republicans are preparing to launch the rule change, which is also known as the "nuclear option," a controversial move that Democrats took more than three years ago for all judicial nominees other than Supreme Court justices.

1. Sen. Joe Manchin (West Virginia) "I will vote to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to be the ninth justice on the Supreme Court." Tweet and statement from 3/30/2017

2. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota) "After doing my due diligence by meeting with Judge Gorsuch and reviewing his record and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I've decided to vote in favor of his confirmation." Statement from 3/30/2017

3. Sen. Joe Donnelly (Indiana) "After meeting with Judge Gorsuch, conducting a thorough review of his record, and closely following his hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I believe that he is a qualified jurist who will base his decisions on his understanding of the law and is well respected among his peers." Statement from 4/2/2017

Democrats who won't filibuster

4. Sen. Michael Bennet (Colorado) "Using the filibuster and nuclear option at this moment takes us in the wrong direction. I have spent the past several weeks trying to avoid this outcome. Changing the Senate rules now will only further politicize the Supreme Court and prevent the Senate from blocking more extreme judges in the future. I will oppose efforts to filibuster the nomination, and strongly encourage my colleagues not to use the nuclear option." Statement on 4/3/2017

Democrats who plan to filibuster:

1. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (New York) "My vote will be 'no'. . To my Republican friends who think that if Judge Gorsuch fails to reach 60 votes, we ought to change the rules, I say: If this nominee cannot earn 60 votes, a bar met by each of President Obama's nominees, and President Bush's last two nominees, the answer isn't to change the rules, it's to change the nominee." Statement on Senate floor on 3/23/2017

2. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vermont) "After careful consideration of Judge Gorsuch's record, I have concluded that I will not vote to confirm him to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court, and I will not support Republican efforts to change the rules to choke off debate and ram the nomination through the Senate." Statement on 3/23/2017

3. Sen. Bob Casey (Pennsylvania) "I don't believe that Judge Gorsuch, his judicial approach, would ensure fairness for workers and families in Pennsylvania and indeed across the country, and I replica mini van cleef necklace will not support his nomination. . If you seek to become a justice of the Supreme Court . you ought to be able to rack up 60 votes . I think that's the standard you should be able to meet." Press call with reporters on 3/23/2017

4. Sen. Ron Wyden (Oregon) "I will vote no on his nomination and I will vote to sustain a filibuster." Statement on 3/23/2017

8. Sen. Tom Carper (Delaware) "Ultimately, I believe that moving forward with Judge Gorsuch's nomination will send a signal that it's acceptable to put partisan politics over fidelity to our Constitution. It is not. While I do not believe that two wrongs make a right, I believe this may be our only opportunity to right a historic wrong. Therefore, I am left with no other choice but to oppose Judge Gorsuch's nomination until we find agreement on moving Judge Garland's nomination forward at the same time." Statement on 3/29/2017

A 60 vote threshold is not something new for Supreme Court nominees to overcome. Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) "I have concluded that I will not be supporting Neil Gorsuch for this opening and so I very much support a 60 vote threshold." Interview with Wolf Blitzer on 3/27/2017
