Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he has "serious concerns" about Judge Neil Gorsuch after meeting with the Supreme Court nominee on Tuesday — and struggling to get straight answers from him.
"The judge avoided answers like the plague. This president is testing fundamental underpinnings of our democracy and its institutions. These times deserve answers and judge Gorsuch did not provide them. I have serious, serious concerns about this nominee," Schumer told reporters during Democrats' weekly press conference.
Schumer said he'd asked Gorsuch specifically about whether a ban on Muslims entering the country would pass constitutional muster and what his view was on the emoluments clause of the Constitution — a conflicts-of-interest clause Democrats say President Trump violated because of his refusal to fully divest from his businesses when he became President.
"I asked him about the emoluments clause and he refused to even say what the framers thought about that clause," Schumer complained.
The Democratic leader didn't fully close the door on voting for Gorsuch, but the comments were the latest indication that he's ready to dig in his heels and battle the nomination.
And while Schumer said the nomniee is "clearly a very smart, polite and capable man who loves being a judge," he warned that his nomination "comes at a perilous time in the relationship between the executive and judicial branches."

Phew! I feel better now.
After reading that Feinstein was impressed by him, I was starting to worry.
FUCS!
This is a real shock Chuckie. I would have thought you guys would have seen eye to eye on everything.
Well, he didn’t have said “concerns”, when he voted to confirm him, to the Fed Court out West.
We all have serious concerns about Chuckie.
Grinning ain’t winning . . . sorry Chuckie!
I had concerns, but if Schumer has concerns, then mine are all put to rest. YES!
Chuckie’s quite sharp, so he’s quick to discern that Gorsuch might possibly be more conservative and pro-liberty than J.V.Stalin (i.e. not mainstream).
Hey, there’s a JV for ya, Won!
An ass hole? I think there's more than enough evidence that his chair contains an ass hole.
Assurances against prosecutions must be obtained. Nothing else.
He's such a putz!..................
Schumer is a SCHUMUCK!
I have some “serious concerns” about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Yeah, Gorsuch seems to like that Constitution thing. Unacceptable.
Schmucky Schumer is always concerned when someone mentions they follow our CONSTITUTION..Schmucky always has that constipated look on his face he really needs to do something about that..and oh geez that concern didnt affect him when he voted for Gorsuch in 2006 gotta love how the concern just happened to occur now
Why, you’d never know Schumer voted to put Gorsuch into his present position, which is the most likely stepping stone to the SC.
Concerned about Muslims? Is Schumer a one-issue Senator these days? Maybe he should “register” as a Muslim.
