Schumer Says SCOTUS Nominee Gorsuch Dodged Tough Questions In Meeting

After meeting Tuesday with Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he had "serious concerns" about President Donald Trump's pick and that he refused to answer some questions.

"I thought there was a deliberate strategy to duck the hard questions," Schumer told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Schumer said it was "deeply, deeply troubling" that Gorsuch declined to answer questions about certain topics he felt Gorsuch may have to rule on as a Supreme Court justice.

Given Trump's attacks on judges both on the campaign trail and as President, the Democratic leader said "the bar for a Supreme Court nominee to prove that he can be independent has never been higher.”
