Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democratic Senate leaders refused to meet with Judge Neil Gorsuch Thursday.
The act appears to be an act of revenge against Republicans for holding the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia open and not holding a hearing for Obama Supreme Court appointee Merrick Garland.
The White House requested that Gorsuch meet with Schumer, but aides said he declined in order to learn more about the nominee’s record, The Washington Post reported.
“By refusing to meet with Judge Gorsuch, Senate Democratic leadership is taking Washington gridlock and obstruction to a new low and placing Senators McCaskill, Donnelly, Heitkamp, Tester, and other Democrats up for reelection in 2018 on the endangered politicians list,” Carrie Severino, chief counsel of the Judicial Crisis Network, said in a statement.

Every demonrat legislator is a serial felon.
If I had Trump’s money, one or two of them would be doing the perp walk every day until the rest gave up and resigned.
Dirt is a Democrat's stock in trade. The Left likes scummy leaders; gives them someone to relate to.
Petulant children
They are seriously attempting to raise an alternate government whipping up the proles and the media in their base. He must have the backing of certain elements in the bureaucracy and the former resident IMHO, along with very wealthy men worldwide.
Doesn’t this tell everyone that the globalists will stop at nothing including the destruction of the country to force their will on Americans?
There’s no “leadership” in acting like spoiled children.
That there is leadership
Gee, I don’t remember all this puerile drama taking place when Obama nominated Red Sonia and Butch Kagan.
BEE! The Butt-hurt still hangs in the air like the smell of burnt black powder.
I read/heard in the past few days that there is a group that has $$$$$s that will be running commercials pro-Gorsuch in the states in which Trump won and Dims are up for reelection in 2018.
Not sure, but I thought I heard on Fox earlier today that Gorsuch met with WV Dim Senator, Manchin, yesterday.
USAG Sessions is going to be an incredibly busy guy.

“Biden Rule”
Who would have thought that US history would actually owe a debt of gratitude to Joe Biden?
Wonder how much Chuck U. Schumer (and some of the others) are being paid by Soros and/or the numerous groups that he funds. Tom Steyner (globull climate pro) has said he will spend $$$$s going forward and has in the past.
"Second, for the rest of this President's term [Bush] and if there is another Republican elected with the same selection criteria let me say this:">
"Given the track record of this President [Bush] and the experience of obfuscation at the hearings, with respect to the Supreme Court, at least: I will recommend to my colleagues that we should not confirm a Supreme Court nominee EXCEPT in extraordinary circumstances."
Nuclear option might be needed. Kind of surprised, I figured the Dems would save the filibuster for the next pick.
McCaskill is toast in 2018. She was toast in 2012 until her opponent uttered stupidity in public.
Those people are not “leaders”, they are obstructionists. True Americans need to remember those politicians and vote them out at the next opportunity.
Chuckles buckled under weighty threats of Mike Jabba the fat and Al I don’t pay taxes Sharpton!
F’em is the only reasonable response to these “people”.At least for now.
...Schumer And Leadership Team Refuse To Meet With Gorsuch...
Who needs them? Who really cares what they do? Their ideology was totally and completely rejected with the Presidential, House, Senate, and over 1,000 seats if state and local leadership power over the last 8years.
They are like a brain dead corpse whose heart continues to somehow beat. It should be taken off life support.
Nuke now! Then the SC nominees down the road will be easy to confirm.
Let crybaby Chuck U go suck his thumb. Turkey neck McConnell had better be ready to push the nuclear button or Trump will be tweeting him every day and telling the country to call his office.
