Gorsuch’s criticism of Trump may be winning him Democratic support

[bigheadfred]

Senate Democrats sent mixed signals the day after Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch expressed concerns about President Trump’s attacks on the federal judiciary — a sign that the judge’s comments could attract some badly needed Democratic support.

“To whisper to a senator but to refuse to say anything public is not close to a good enough show on independence. So from my view, not a good start for Judge Gorsuch. Not a good start,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), speaking on the Senate floor.

But Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, struck a more positive note about Gorsuch’s remarks, which came in a meeting with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

“I for one appreciated them,” Feinstein said. “I think he was being truthful as to how he felt about it. And that was very much appreciated.” She said she wanted Gorsuch to have a “fair hearing process.

Sure it is.

What a load of b.s.  The liberals voted for Gorsuch the last time around on his seat to the 10th district court.

“Doesn’t that make you concerned that Judge Gorsuch might be the kind of justice then who would want to please the editorial boards of the New York Times and The Washington Post when a hot-button issue comes up? That crossed my mind last night, didn’t make me happy to hear it at all,” conservative commentator Laura Ingraham said Thursday on her radio program.

Better to ask these questions now than to pass it to find out what is in it.

I always assumed that was exactly why he did it.

Do you think we are being suckered?

Are you implying that you think Gorsuch is a good pick? And if so are you relying on the opinion of that guy in the White house or your own research?

From what I have heard and read about Gorsuch, he seems like a legit pick who is an Constitutionalist.  Basically someone who is an independent and respects the separation of powers.. 


I made up my own mind also my advice is that you make up your own mind instead of Talk Radio..

I'm still on the fence about Gorush. I don't listen to the radio talk or the tv talk. I'm pretty much relying on people like me to investigate what is being said by the nominee. And about the nominee, by people like you...

What a truly stupid thing to say.  Even though I'm not a fan of Laura she has done as much, if not more, in her life for conservatism than Charles Krauthammer, who you seem to "worship".  If simply posting the opinion of someone for thought or discussion means "worshipping" then there's a lot of that going on around here.
