Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch told a US senator Wednesday that President Donald Trump's tweets about the judiciary are "demoralizing" and "disheartening."
In a meeting with Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Gorsuch, who's largely been silent since Trump nominated him last week, took exception to Trump calling a federal judge in Seattle a "so-called judge" after blocking the President's travel ban.

He'll be asked about this at his confirmation hearings. We'll hear straight from his own mouth what he thinks of Trump's tweets.
Scared? My friend, I never used the word scared. Fear is not something I feel very often. However, the President sending out tweets with poor grammar and lots of CAPITAL LETTERS is beneath the office, in my opinion. You may think it’s Presidential, but I do not.
I don’t believe this report for a second.
And I also agree with President Trump.
I don’t have any respect at all for political hacks dressing up in robes pretending to be judges.
None.
Respect is earned.
And so disrespect.
And judges who impose their opinion as law instead of upholding actual law have all the disrespect that they have earned and deserve.
Such people are a disgrace and should resign or be impeached.
"Oh, this is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth? I'm coming to join you, honey!"
This is the same man who claimed to be a vet and isn’t - Stolen Valor straight up. Blumenthal is a self-aggrandizing liar and I won’t believe this until/unless I hear it straight from Gorsuch
He's going to the Supreme Court first.
Yes. Of course.
I am sure he said it. I am also sure he had to say it or something like it when mr. stolen valor cornered him.
Trump said what needed to be said and l’m fine he said that too. The Judge is a leftist hack. I think Trump didn’t see the 9th circus trap though someone on staff certainly should have. Trump does need to be little better at proofreading his tweets.
Donald J. Trump nominated Gorsuch and praised him as a fabulous pick for the position.
Are we now saying DJT doesn’t know good sh*t from apple butter, LouisianaJoan of Arc?
Stop hating.
Hmmm so he says something (which I would also agree with) makes him a possible leftie not worthy of conservative consideration to the bench?
Please tell me you have more than just this as a basis. I’ll also point out that not all news (even the news we may not like) is fake news.
There’s a new wave to silence opposition just yell fake news repeatedly and loud and no one pays attention. Very dangerous
i think Trump needs to learn not to get mad - but get even. he has the power after all -
Focus on what he does. Democrats and their operatives are not nice people and Trump is a blunt speaker and tweeter. You seem to think there is some civility left in politics and we are past that point.
LOL. I hate on anyone that undermines my President. Sorry, that is just the way it is. I know Judges stick together. I think Gorsuch is great. He needs to keep his mouth shut about my President. :)
Unfortunately I saw in on several news sources. Could be they all picked up on the senator’s statement, could be that of course the nominee is going to make a statement like that but it doesn’t reflect on how he would rule under the law.
Yes, that one.
Anyway, he did not like Scalia and believes Gorsuch will be similar.
Here's the podcast link if you care to hear the discussion.
This is probably FAKE News, but if this guy is dissing Trump, President Trump can remove him from consideration/nomination...right?
I’m going to side with Trump and hold the MSM with contempt on this one. I have more reason to Trust Trump rather than the lying POS in the Media!
I wish he would dial it back too and I’m a staunch defender of Trump. Less is more. The press would go wild if he went radio silent on his tweets. The more he tweets, the less effective they become in my opinion.
Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam. He cannot be trusted, even about something as sacred as that.
I, as a deplorable, just love the tweets. Donald, keep them coming. The reason why the hoipaloi hate the tweets is because they are truthful and they can’t spin or control the narrative.
