Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch calls Trump's tweets 'disheartening'


Washington (CNN)Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch told a US senator Wednesday that President Donald Trump's tweets about the judiciary are "demoralizing" and "disheartening."

In a meeting with Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Gorsuch, who's largely been silent since Trump nominated him last week, took exception to Trump calling a federal judge in Seattle a "so-called judge" after blocking the President's travel ban.
"He said very specifically that they were demoralizing and disheartening and he characterized them very specifically that way," Blumenthal said of Gorsuch. "I said they were more than disheartening and I said to him that he has an obligation to make his views clear to the American people, so they understand how abhorrent or unacceptable President Trump's attacks on the judiciary are."

1. I am waiting for that to happen.

As much as I'd rather not see Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, the other two finalists were even worse. But I'll be interested to see what Trump does.

2. OTOH I suspect all the minions have been told to say anything to get confirmed. nt

3. Then he does. Gorsuch is no angel. And maybe this is a dog-and-pony show.

4. I will rejoice, just because it makes

Trump look so petty and vindictive.

5. Trump probably told him to say that

So he would appear more reasonable.

6. I think that was thru a spokesman?

Easily deniable.

7. He said it to Senator Richard Blumenthal. His spokesperson confirmed it.

8. Will not happen.

This sucker was hand picked by Pence and his Chirsto-fascist's. This is payback for the support of Fallwell's Moral dysfunctional Majority.

9. I'm glad Gorsuch made that statement

Drumpf will surely be doing a slow burn. But after all the incredibly complimentary things that Don the Con just said about Gorsuch only a week ago, he cannot change his stance now without looking like a complete hypocrite (nothing unusual for him, I suppose).

10. Not in the least - Gorsuch said it cause it will help his nomination. If he can get in w/o

the nuclear option, they can save it for someone more extreme.
