President Trump’s escalating attacks on the judicial branch drew denunciation Wednesday from his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, who told lawmakers that the attacks were “demoralizing” and “disheartening” to the independence of the federal courts.

Good for him.

I wonder if Trump rescinds the nomination though. He doesn't like to be criticized.

My idea of an ideal week was for the Senate to confirm sessions, and then fail to confirm DeVos because Session's seat was unfilled. Then, Gorsuch would be confirmed and would cast the deciding vote in the SCOTUS to rule against the Executive Action to freeze immigration (or ... pick an Executive Action from DJT).

I guess this will have to do, though...

Well you are batting .500 so be happy!

To be clear, I am not a fan of Sessions... I tend toward agnostic to his appointment, but DeVos is surely the worst, followed by the former presidential candidates. Most of the important appointments I believe have proven competency, and well chosen.

Alternative facts.

Well since this is strictly a hearsay comment, we don't know what was said, and more importantly, how it was said.

But assuming that Gorsuch said something like what is being reported, he probably made an innocuous comment and was just telling the Dims what they want to hear.

This only makes it harder for the Dims to object to Gorsuch.

That is what passes for "news" these days. Folks still jump all over it like it's Gospel. People will never learn.
