Gorsuch Calls Trump’s Comments on Judiciary ‘Disheartening

[Linc]

Ayotte is lying, now? :lamo

Of course not--Ayotte is a responsible GOP.

trump/Bannon are reprehensible GOPs .

I mentioned it in the context of the reference to Obama's criticism of the SCOTUS decision.

Interesting.

Obama was not a professor of law

UC Law School statement:

The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.

'U.S. Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch told a Democratic senator he found Donald Trump’s comments "disheartening" and "demoralizing" when the president criticized the judiciary over a federal court order that blocked his immigration ban.

Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut told reporters about Gorsuch’s comments after meeting privately Wednesday with Trump’s first U.S. high court nominee. Ron Bonjean, a spokesman aiding Gorsuch in the confirmation process, confirmed Blumenthal’s account of their conversation in an e-mail and said Gorsuch "used the words disheartening and demoralizing."

"He certainly expressed to me that he is disheartened by demoralizing, abhorrent comments made by President Trump about the judiciary," Blumenthal said outside his Senate office. "But I will be asking for more specific and forthcoming comments to those kinds of questions before I determine how I will vote.”'

Thoughts?

An appointee with a mind of his own, who shows with great clarity that he isn't a lap dog. Makes me like him even more.

 

[Anthony60]

Impressive on the surface. Not so much when the details of his Professorship are examined. It was very minimal and it was very unremarkable. Several people here probably know as much, if not more.

I remember an interview with an actual law professor there when Obama was there. Obama refused to talk to him when he found out he was a conservative.

UC is full of it

A senior lecturer is not a professor and does not have same pay, rank and privileges as a professor

 

[VanceMack]

It's amusing, in a sad way, of all the Trumpettes impugning Senator Richard Blumenthal 'lies' while supporting and excusing the lyingest liar of time, the so-called president, l'll donny.

This is what I mean when I say you are no different than Trump.

Kinda makes you swell with pride...amirite?

 

[matchlight]

I would not have expressed the criticism just in the way President Trump did, but the action of the judge in Washington was an outrage. I read the documents, and I know he blatantly ignored what the Supreme Court has long held: That the power of the two political branches to exclude aliens is plenary, and not for it or any other court to question. This judge has betrayed the public trust and disgraced his office by acting in open disregard of long and clearly established law, apparently to suit his personal biases. For this, and as a lesson to other judges so inclined, Congress should impeach and remove him.

Was that during the time when he was self described as being born in Kenya?

 

[VanceMack]

Lol. And Gorsuch is just now figuring that out? Where's he been for the past 18 months?

Actually for all we know Gorsuch has always known that. That comment wasnt addressed to Gorsuch.

Trumps status as an asshole would and should have zero bearing on ones decision to accept an appointment to the Supreme Court.

 

[Rogue Valley]

Trump's status as an asshole is past tiresome.

That isn't actually true. That is the characterization by Blumenthal, not a quote.

As is the endless blame game each day by Sean Sphincter .

That isn't actually true. That is the characterization by Blumenthal, not a quote.

It's a quote that is exactly 100% true, as per GOP Sherpa and former GOP senator Kelly Ayotte and GORSUCH'S spokesman.

America would expect no more from trumpistan to deny actual words that are spoken.

Smearing the messenger by trump over a war trump dodged is a new low for his deflectors to defend .

As is the endless blame game every night by Trump on Twitter.

Trump's silver-spoon life obviously never included the invaluable lesson that not everything always goes his way.

Yes...Trump is an asshole. Now...examine the rabid hate filled leftists that rain down their obsessive hatred and compare the two. Not much difference, is there?

 

[yankintx]

He reached that plateu with his vagina grabbing comment. "When your a star they let you", thats a big red flag this guy has a full on case of NPD. His entitlement complex is troubling.

I am well aware of how academic titles work. Given that he was teaching multiple courses to law students in a law school, he was indeed a "professor" of law, even if was part-time and not tenure track. This applies to academic institutions in general, not just UC law school.

The left has way more assholes.

Maybe he's not one of "them" after all.

Or maybe, this whole thing was orchestrated to make people like you and me believe that he really isn't a Trump puppet.

Conway 'has been counseled' over Ivanka plug. :lamo

Spineless Chaffetz calls Conway's Ivanka plug "wrong, wrong, wrong".

If Conway was a Democrat, Chaffetz would be starting his ethics committee on her .

Only if he says it in public at his fair hearing .

If he was, that is frightening. In office, he showed that he either did not know much about the Constitution and what it means, or worse, he had a total disregard for it.
