Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell argued Monday that Democrats are requiring a “special test” for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch that conflicts with a standard set by Ruth Bader Ginsburg during her confirmation hearing.

McConnell, R-Ky., said Democrats are demanding Gorsuch, a federal appellate judge, prove his judicial independence by giving them “drive-by legal conclusions” that would signal how he would rule on key issues.
