Schumer And Leadership Team Refuse To Meet With Gorsuch
Daily Caller ^ | 02/02/2017 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 02/02/2017 2:32:31 PM PST by detective

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.

That’s some “leadership” you weenies....Chuckie and his cowards is more like it. From what I’ve read, Gorsuch would probably outwit them blindfolded.

Gorsuch doesn't have to meet them.
There is no rule or law that says Gorsuch must
meet with these Democrats who hate him.

Just start the hearings immediately, then bring his
nomination down to the Senate floor for the confirmation vote.

Let the Democrats hold their press conferences where they can whine
and cry about the mean Republicans and President Trump being Hitler.
Nobody is going to listen to them.

Children in the Senate, clowns in the House, and vermin in the streets.

This is the modern democrat party.

My dear old Dad (may he rest in peace) would’ve given every one of them a damned good blistering; and he had big hands!

I would be relieved to not have to see Schmucker and his band of Neanderthals. Screw them all and ignore them often. I hope BiBi doesn’t see any of them either.......just ignore them when possible. Rules and ettiquitette be damned!!
