Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday warned that President Donald Trump’s attack on a federal judge who issued a broad block on his travel ban would firm Democratic resistance to his nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

“The President's attack on Judge James Robart, a Bush appointee who passed with 99 votes, shows a disdain for an independent judiciary that doesn't always bend to his wishes and a continued lack of respect for the Constitution, making it more important that the Supreme Court serve as an independent check on the administration,” Schumer said in a statement.

He added, “With each action testing the Constitution, and each personal attack on a judge, President Trump raises the bar even higher for Judge Gorsuch's nomination to serve on the Supreme Court. His ability to be an independent check will be front and center throughout the confirmation process.”

1. The SC appointments for the next 4 years need to be done by a Democrat

ONe seat was stolen last year and this year an election was stolen.

70,000 mostly black people in Detroit dont leave president slot empty nor does 161,000 (twice the norm) in FL.

What else dont we know about this stolen election?

9. GOOD!! I hope they bring up the fact that he already has disdain for federal judges.

Remember when he attacked Judge Gonzalo Curiel last summer? I hope they bring ALL that up too. So if turtle wants to go nuclear, we can too.
