Sen. Ted Cruz UNLEASHES Holy Hell on Democrats For Criticizing Trump's SCOTUS Nominee, Judge Gorsuch

“So, if you are and will continue to be a federal judge on the court of appeals, it is interesting to assess how my Democratic colleagues have fared under their own test that it is inappropriate, that it is offensive to somehow malign a federal judge. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on national television, Judge Gorsuch is, quote, “hostile to women’s rights and holds radical views far outside the mainstream of American legal thought.” She continued, quote, “what saddens me the most as a mom and a grandmother is his hostility towards children in school, children with autism.” She additionally went on to say, quote, “if you breathe air, drink water, eat food, take medicine or in any other interact with the courts, if you care about that for your children, he’s not your guy.”



“It is interesting given the Democrats are complaining about people criticizing federal judges. Senator Whitehouse on Monday said, quote, “tellingly, big special interests and their front groups are spending millions of dollars in a dark money campaign to push your confirmation. They obviously think you will be worth their money.” That also somehow falls short of the Democrats’ complaints about criticisms directed at the judiciary. Indeed, Senator Hirono on Monday said, quote, “you consistently choose corporations and powerful interests over people. Ideology over common sense and indeed the purpose of the law.” Senator Durbin, “in case after case you either dismissed or rejected efforts by workers and families to recognize their rights and defend their freedoms.” Senator Franken, “but if the past is prologue, I fear that confirming you would guarantee more of the same from the Roberts courts. Decisions that continue to favor powerful corporate interests over the rights of average Americans.” Tom Perez, the DNC chairman, “Gorsuch on the Supreme Court is Intolerable. Judge Gorsuch would discriminate against a majority of Americans from the bench. The chairman of the Democratic Party charging that a judge would discriminate?



“These are serious attacks. Many of them impugn your integrity directly and yet this is a confirmation hearing. The Founders understood a confirmation hearing would be in the political arena. My colleagues, the Democrats, have a right to engage in whatever attacks they choose, but it is a little rich for them to be maligning a sitting federal judge and at the same time giving speeches about how unacceptable it is for anyone to criticize a federal judge. You can’t have both at the same time.”
