Flake added that he thought it would help Gorsuchs chances in the Senate.

'Given the presidents comments, thats a very milquetoast response,' House said.
'Anyone can be disheartened, but the judge has refused to condemn the comments privately or publicly.' "
It seems that some Republicans think Gorsuch was just hoping to kiss-up to Dem senators, while some Dems say the judge's nose is still not brown enough.
