Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday warned that President Donald Trump’s attack on a federal judge who issued a broad block on his travel ban would firm Democratic resistance to his nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
“The President's attack on Judge James Robart, a Bush appointee who passed with 99 votes, shows a disdain for an independent judiciary that doesn't always bend to his wishes and a continued lack of respect for the Constitution, making it more important that the Supreme Court serve as an independent check on the administration,” Schumer said in a statement.
He added, “With each action testing the Constitution, and each personal attack on a judge, President Trump raises the bar even higher for Judge Gorsuch's nomination to serve on the Supreme Court. His ability to be an independent check will be front and center throughout the confirmation process.”

Democrats still think they’re in control ,one party rule ,Democrat Party
Enough of this. Go nuclear and bring it to a head. The time for nuance has passed.
Sure, Chuck whatever.
You’ve about as much power as Bohner had when you all locked the door and shut the GOP out of proceedings.
All I hear when you blather is “bark barkyipyip yip bark bark yip.”
Schumer again shows his willful twisted reasoning.
Fortunately, the President will prevail on all fronts because he is supported by the Constitution and the Law.
Gee Chuck, like you were gonna vote for Trump’s pick anyway, right?
If Schumer wasn’t crying when he made this threat, then he didn’t really mean it. If he’s serious, he could at least muster a tear or two.
GTH Schumer....these judges are overstepping their authority and deserve to be criticized . . And don’t you dare go to the “Constitution”.
STFU. I am sick and tired of being nice with these ignorant fools, their talking points, and their media who keep lying to them.
Vote the judge in firs thing Monday in time for this immigration decision, and screw these idiots
Oh like the left was rolling out the red carpet for Gorsuch..seriously Schmucky Schumer..just put a sock in it OK, and hopefully choke on it
Schumer warns?
Hahahahahahahaha...Chuckie needs to take a break, the Dems lost.
People are afraid of what Schumer will do to Trump. Seems more likely to me Trump will take out Schumer.
see post 9 if you get a second. Just said virtually the same
Chuckie is begging to get nuked
Trump HAS GOT TO settle this insane power grab by this damned Democrat judge NOW and ONCE AND FOR ALL. This ass Schumer is babbleing CRAP about what is and isn’t constitutional...geez...When one side goes off the rails like this they HAVE TO BE SLAPPED DOWN HARD. When a thing is unreasonable it MUST be reacted to as such.
Dem Senate operative: The big Supreme Court fight will be over the next nominee, not Gorsuch (Cruz?)

When Chuckie says not to do something, that means he and his rat pack are really weak and can’t stop Trump and us. So Trump needs to flatten Chuckie and his rat pack and do it.
If Chuckie ever agrees with Trump, Trump probably should stop what ever Chucie agreed with.
Expect the Mexican Army to roll across the border any day now saying it’s OK the Judge said we could
It would be interesting to know just how much effort was put forth to Judge Shop this around.
All you hear from the democrats is “Constitution...Constitution...”
Never did they utter the word when Obama was in office...
Fake, lying, hypocritical POS....
