democracynow.org - During Tuesday’s hearing, Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch faced questions about his views on the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and the $10 million dark money campaign supporting his nomination. A recent New York Times investigation reveals Gorsuch has close ties to Colorado billionaire Philip Anschutz. For more, we speak with Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and with Elliot Mincberg, former chief counsel for oversight and investigations of the House Judiciary Committee.

Garland was plainly more qualified than Gorsuch

Gorsuch refuses to answer honestly or straightforward. His faux sincerity is galling to watch. His rulings and written opinions say all we need to know. He's not for equal rights, civil rights, fair pay, voting rights, he's in favor of Citizens United standing as law, and he's not concerned that judges should correct injustices committed against the common citizens as opposed to corporations. And, his faux earnestness & sincerity is more than I can bear.

TheMrsB 11181311 lol... Funny! I thought he was " not able to answer the questions as they were presented", because as a Federal Judge, he takes an oath, and is bound by rules he has to follow. Please watch Ruth Bader Ginsberg confirmation hearings, she said THE SAME EXACT THINGS AS JUDGE GORSUCH, that she cnat comment on possible legislation that will come before her, or give anyone an idea, or clue to HOW she would rule on a future case. Why is a different standard being held for Gorsuch than for Ginsberg? The only difference is that the demons called democrats are asking the stupid questions now instead of the demons called republicans back then. ( i refer to them as demons, because they are evil and deceptive in the way they try get the Judges to answer a question that could not only prevent them from being a Supreme court Justice, but would cause a violation in the rules of being a Federal Judge!). Common sense, and a little bit of education in areas of how our government actually works, how laws areapplied, and rules are followed, is all that it takes. Please, get educated by more than media sources like democracy now! These people have an agenda, they always have! ( I have voted democrat and republican, so don't even start with the " name calling", or the isms... Because I am non of these accusations, I just happen to have common sense, and apply that to my thinking, and my opinions!

Vaniecia Ferguson Sorry but you're wrong. Or if you are not wrong then explain why he won't tell YOU, cos these questions are being asked on your behalf, why he can't tell you were he got 10 million dollars of funding. That has absolutely nothing to do with any rules. He avoided many questions that he could have answered. You can believe all the alternative facts you like, doesn't make it true.

There's one thing that sticks out about Gorsuch. A big one in my opinion. He's got a bad attitude. A defensive nature. That alone is cause for 'nay'.

Kristen Clarke's opinion that the Sumpreme Court should be used as a tool to make rulings in place of congress changing laws is how this country became so divide, and the reason the court is now a political issue. I would prefer an elected congress make the laws and the Supreme Court make rulings based on the laws passed by the people's elected officials and the constitution. Isn't this how it was suppose to work?

If anybody shuts this Judge Down before they even learn who he is and then form an opinion. Needs to keep those ignorant voices inside their heads before they share ANYTHING! Moral relativism is nothing more than an opinion based on a belief. One needs to be informed before they open the mouth.

What the hell is dark money, and how can any money spent be effective since the entire issue is voted on by the US Senate? No nominee would ever state what they think about any specific issue, because what the think is irrelevant to judging the law.

Wow. What a hoot! You guys are so triggered by Neil Gorsuch that you have to resort to selective editing. Why didn't you play all of his answers? Judge Gorsuch is smarter than every Democrat on that committee, and he put one clown suit after another on those that tried to trick him into putting his foot in his mouth. Better luck next time.
