Schumer has ‘serious doubts’ about Trump’s Supreme Court pick

Published



Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday night he has “serious doubts” about whether President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee will administer justice equally to the rich and poor alike, and joined other Democrats who were left asking if Gorsuch can show he’s a mainstream nominee.

“Given his record, I have very serious doubts about Judge Gorsuch’s ability to meet this standard,” Schumer said of Trump’s nominee, 10th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Neil Gorsuch. “Judge Gorsuch has repeatedly sided with corporations over working people, demonstrated a hostility toward women’s rights, and most troubling, hewed to an ideological approach to jurisprudence that makes me skeptical that he can be a strong, independent Justice on the court.”
