Trucker Case News Today

A frame work and talking points for why they might not support this nominee. so in some ways, i think its broad and theres a lot to choose from. whether or not its his comments or lack of comments in terms of abortion, whether its the frozen trucker case, whether its his sort of comments and role in enhanced interrogation techniques. so, thats what shes trying to do, sort of lay out a pretty broad sense of where the democratic party is in terms of this nominee and give everyone a sense of why th...

Comparison between judge gorsuch and other republican nominees, saying compare these answers, compare how little he gave, even when you look at, for example, now justice samuel alito, now justice anthony kennedy. and i think she went through this systematically to say this is not just about the politics of what happened with merrick garland, although she stressed that that was so unusual last year that president obamas nominee did not get a hearing. she stressed how much the money was going agai...

Chance to talk. have not heard from him since january 31 and he stood next to the president. and giving him a chance to tell his own story. i think no one is disputing he is an extremely smart man. extremely well credentialed. just letting him talk will, republicans will portray him as somebody who does not look at the results of a case like that trucker case i talked about. he follows the law. and they will point to counterexamples where he may have come out on the other side but in this case t...

Democrats. senator feinstein put out a series of press releases last night and she called him an activist and extremist judge. i think that the rhetoric on this nomination is going to start to get more intense. >> the judge has been involved in about 3000 rulings. he was on the list of 21 that the candidate trump put up as a conservative judge.he thought should be on the supreme court. other any of those 3000 that the democrats can really pull out and say this is why judge gorsuch should not bec...
