Schumer: Americans Believe ‘Appropriate Standard’ for Gorsuch is 60 Votes

Schumer Falsely Claims Americans Believe ‘Appropriate Standard’ for Gorsuch Is 60 Votes (The Washington Free Beacon)

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) claimed on Wednesday that the American people believe the "appropriate standard" for President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee to be confirmed is 60 votes.

Schumer's speech on the Senate floor focused on Judge Neil Gorsuch's upcoming confirmation vote next week and how he should be held to the "standard" of receiving 60 votes in order to get confirmed to the high court.

"Most of us waited until after the hearings, because at the hearings he had a chance to distance himself from these views, but he refused to substantively answer question after question," Schumer said.
