Neil Gorsuch Calls Trump's Attacks on Judges "Disheartening & Demoralizing"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump's rant sparked widespread criticism, including from Trump's
Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, who called Trump's tweets
"disheartening and demoralizing" during a meeting with Connecticut
Senator Richard Blumenthal. This morning, Trump attacked Senator
Blumenthal on Twitter, claiming he was misrepresenting Gorsuch's
words-even though a spokesperson for Gorsuch himself told CNN the judge
had voiced concern about Trump's comments during the meeting.
