Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday warned that President Donald Trumps 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.

Bite me chuck...but we do have a problem. We are missing one justice...with trump likely having to go to the Supremes after 9th circuit goes rogue
It would be interesting to know just how much effort was put forth to Judge Shop this around.
Expect it to be the norm to use west coast Judges that will make rulings late Friday night
I’ll say this. The dems are fighting and showing backbone when a lot of Republicans did not do squat when they were in the minority and even now in the majority.
That ain’t no judge, Shmucky, it’s a political hack abusing the power entrusted to it by us, and it needs to be impeached and disbarred.
Also, GFY, Shmucky.
They will always try to get Into a jurisdiction that is covered by 9th circuit.

spot on
If President Trump blew his nose, in front of Chuckles Schumer, he’d claim that THAT was a great reason to NOT allow Gorsuch to become a Justice and also not to confirm ANY of his Cabinet, to boot.
What a putz
You seem to be doing a lot of warning these days, Chuckie. Maybe you should lay low for a while, try to get over it.
Bol!
+1
Schumer&Co. are ticked off because their Let’s Make a Deal show is canceled.
Defending your case in court because you disagree with a judge’s decision on legal grounds is not an attack. Fool.
Nomination fight could affect “Dreamers”
Who threw the first jab Shoeshine boy ?
Trump isn’t attacking the
Judge. Nice try.
It’s not Trump. It’s the Republicans who are quiet on every issue because they are afraid of helping Trump
So our 'Rat Legislature has more 'critters than Congress.
“Democrats still think theyre in control ,one party rule ,Democrat Party”
They are, 93 percent of D.C. voted for Hitlary.
Time to get Sessions confirmed, and also time for the nuclear option. Do it!
Hatch was right just a bunch of juvenile babies.
