Sen. Schumer to Gorsuch: Go Public With Your Trump Bashing
Thursday, February 9, 2017 01:48 PM

By: Bill Hoffmann

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer on Friday chastised Judge Neil Gorsuch for privately blasting President Donald Trump's criticism of a federal judge and said the commander-in-chief's pick to replace Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court should go public with his displeasure.

"To whisper to a senator but to refuse to say anything public is not close to good enough to show an independence. So from my view, not a good start for Judge Gorsuch. Not a good start," Schumer told The Hill.

Trump probably called Gorsuch to say, "well played!"

Schumer is just baiting Gorsuch, trying to get him to hurt his own confirmation process.  Gorsuch isn't falling for it.  And he shouldn't.

Trump is perfectly capable of embarrassing himself, as he is merrily proving in spades.  What sort of a jacked up a$$hole tries to actively thwart his own nominee?

Of course.  Anybody who says anything that is less than laudatory of Trump is a liar and a traitor.  That aide will be getting an Epic Orange Wedgie soon enough.

I wasn't aware that the way to deal with criticism of Trump was to shoot the messenger.  Even a stopped clock gets the time right twice a day.

When the WSJ retracts its story, then I'll give some credence to these stories.  Until then, I give them as much credence as I gave to the self-serving lies that came out of the Obama White House.

You're not saying he told a lie, but you are saying he didn't tell the truth.  Correct?

I can sure tell you are a lawyer with this cross examination..

What he said was not directed at Trump or any judge...he was asked a question re people criticizing judges..

I hope so - because it WAS well-played.   As for "going public",  there will be an opportunity for both sides to question Gorsuch during the Senate hearing.

C'mon!  Do you honestly believe that Gorsuch didn't know exactly who he was being asked about?  If you think he's really that naive then he doesn't need to be on the bench.

Agree ... except there's no "blood" in the water.... unless each Democrat Senator gets to vote twice.

Gorsuch will take his seat on the court.

If that's the case he isn't as smart as we are being led to believe is he!....he should have kept his mouth shut if he is so easily led to make a statement dissing the person who nominated him.

here is Kelly Ayotte's statement

Quote
Judge Gorsuch has made it very clear in all of his discussions with senators, including Senator Blumenthal, that he could not comment on any specific cases and that judicial ethics prevent him from commenting on political matters. He has also emphasized the importance of an independent judiciary, and while he made clear that he was not referring to any specific case, he said that he finds any criticism of a judge’s integrity and independence disheartening and demoralizing.

Gorsuch knew exactly who he was referencing in his comment.  The implied target is there to anyone who's half way paid attention lately.

Ayotte can try to spin it all she wants to...but then again she's not one to be considered trustworthy anyway so there is that as well.


And I agree he should have just kept his mouth shut.

Gee, you're right.  Gorsuch didn't actually use the word "Trump" in his statement, so he must not have been referring to Trump.

This is what you say, and what Ayotte says, he said:
Quote
that he finds any criticism of a judge’s integrity and independence disheartening and demoralizing.

Now, I know I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but I do know that (a) Trump called into question a judge's integrity and independence (which he has done several times), and (b) Gorsuch says that he finds that disheartening and demoralizing.

And I can draw the obvious inference:  Gorsuch finds Trump's statements disheartening and demoralizing.

So, the only liar here is Kelly Ayotte, if we want to start accusing people of not telling the truth.

You act like Trump has been the only President who has dissed a sitting judge..he is not, far from it.

I for one do not believe anything that comes out of Blumenthal or Schumer's mouth....I will wait for Gorsuch's statement.

Except this is one that hasn't ruled yet on a case before him that concerns the President.  That is an attempt to unduly influence the outcome.

Conservatives howled like crazy when Obama did this on numerous occasions to the SCOTUS.

If he wants to bad mouth the judge AFTER the final ruling..fine...but right now it looks like he's trying to apply undue influence and that is flat out wrong.

It's a statement that isn't forthcoming and you know it...so you get to have a self fulfilling prophecy about this allegedly being a lie...which it isn't.
