Bernie Sanders Dodges on Agreeing with Schumer’s Filibuster of Judge Gorsuch

‘I’m going to vote against Gorsuch’

MITCHELL: “And finally, do you agree with minority leader, Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, I should say, with his argument that while there is an FBI investigation into all of this, you should not be approving a Supreme Court nominee? How will you vote on Judge Gorsuch?”
SANDERS: “I’m going to vote against Gorsuch. I mean, I think this country faces enormous problems. Gorsuch was in my office. We had a very nice chat. I asked him about Citizens United, which is a disastrous Supreme Court decision that allows billionaires to spend as much money as they want, it’s undermining American democracy. He had nothing significant to say about it. I asked him about voter suppression, the fact that all over this country Republican governors are trying to make it harder for poor people, people of color, older people to participate in our democracy. He had nothing significant to say about that. So I will be voting against Judge Gorsuch.”
