Senate Democrats focus on Gorsuch's defense of Bush-era terrorism policies
By Robert Barnes and Ed O'Keefe March 15 at 7:28 PM
Senate Democrats are requesting more information about Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch’s role defending the George W. Bush administration in lawsuits over terrorism policies and interrogation of detainees.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the information provided by Gorsuch about his 2005-2006 employment at the Justice Department has raised more questions.
“With your hearing only six days away, it has come to my attention that your response via the Department of Justice to my letter of February 22 is incomplete and must be supplemented immediately,” Feinstein (Calif.) wrote, setting a deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday.
Hundreds of thousands of document pages provided cryptic descriptions of the work of Gorsuch, who served as a high-ranking Justice Department official before he was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in July 2006.
