Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch calls Trump's tweets 'disheartening'
CNN ^ | 02/08/2017 | By Ashley Killough, CNN

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.

Principled conservatives could stop him. Otherwise he is on for 35 years.

I have mixed thinking about this. I don’t have a problem with tweeting directly to the people, but as a person that was successful in the business world by not Always being politically correct I understand where he comes from, and I think Bush lost a lot by being too politically correct. On the other hand, what I learned in life is that there are other ways to win, especially when the law is on your side.

Trump should delegate some of his negative thoughts to be spoken by one of his henchmen/women - thereby getting the point out in his name. not always - but i think none of us liked it when BHO laid into SCOTUS at SOTU over Citizens United.

Yes. However, Trump knew that the next step would be the 9th district Judges. So then, those Judges are aware of the public snarky comments about a sitting Judge.

We wouldn’t be happy if Obama did that to one of our conservative Judges would we?

Not real Judges in our viewpoint; the left thinks our Conservative Judges are not real either.

But, whether we like it or not, disagree how they legislate, they are legal Judges.

If situation was reversed and Obama had an EO and it was being decided by Conservative district of Judges, would we be ok with Obama making snarky comments about those Judges? No we wouldn’t.

That’s right. If Gorsuch DID say it, THAT’S disheartening. The Washington judge is a known activist judge, which is outrageous. I don’t care what President Trump says. Joe Biden had both feet in his mouth continually. Neither the MSM, nor democrats ever made a peep about his ridiculous gaffes. As usual, conservatives are held to a different standard.

BO did to SCOTUS at SoTU over Citizens United and all were hoppin’ mad. good to be consistent in what we want. Prez can have one of his communications people express displeasure with the elements of the argument, rather than impugning the character of the judge (even if the judge is an idiot). i agree with what Prez said - but don’t think it was good strategy - 4 - 8 years can be a lonnnnnnnnnng time. just sayin’

This was said by Blumenthal. Do not know if it is true or not.

Who cares what Obama had to say, there is no comparison between Trump and Obama when it comes to motives. That judge needed to be called out for his stupid ruling.
