The first day of Spring today is the start of a big week in Congress. Activities of interest this week include, but are not limited to:

• The confirmation hearing for United States Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch before the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to start today, with opening statements. Members of the committee will have an opportunity to ask questions of Judge Gorsuch Tuesday and Wednesday.

• The House Intelligence Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on a host of issues related to Russian involvement in the November presidential election as well as those around claims of wire-tapping and other issues. The head of the FBI James Comey and the director of the National Security Agency Michael Rogers are slated to testify at the hearing.

• Currently slated for Thursday, the full House is expected to vote on the American Health Care Act, the legislation aimed at repealing and replacing Obamacare.
