I think Republicans and Gorsuch’s own people have confirmed the comments Blumenthal quoted are accurate.

The statement from Kelly Ayotte was that the statement was not specific to what Trump said but in general terms. Please don't misrepresent. Thank you.

Really? Did you come from behind...or under that rock?

“I think Republicans and Gorsuch’s own people have confirmed the comments Blumenthal quoted are accurate.”

“Sen. Kelly Atyotte, who is leading the charge to help confirm Gorsuch, put out a statement Thursday morning that attempted to clarify Gorsuch’s comments. “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,” Ayotte said. “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.””
