Shes a lawyer too: Trumps Supreme Court pick snaps at Amy Klobuchar

[madamesilverspurs]

Donald Trump’s nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, Neil Gorsuch, lost his cool under the intensity of  Senator Amy Klobuchar’s questioning during the confirmation hearing. Breaking from his generally overly-polished presentation, Gorsuch appeared visibly irritated, interrupted the Senator, raised his voice, and spoke to her in a remarkably patronizing manner.

Notably, before being elected as the first woman to the U.S. Senate for Minnesota, Klobuchar graduated from Yale, earned a law degree from University of Chicago, and headed the largest prosecutor’s office in her state for eight years.
...
GORSUCH: Can I answer you, Senator, ’cause I’m almost there. Okay. So I write to point out this conflict in the supreme court’s directions that I saw.

KLOBUCHAR: Okay.

GORSUCH: And then I said in our case, Byron White, it doesn’t matter. Because Colorado couldn’t meet even rational basis test, forget about whether it’s strict scrutiny or something close to strict scrutiny, it couldn’t meet rational basis test because Colorado couldn’t articulate any good reason, maybe there’s one out there, I don’t know, but they have articulated nothing.

KLOBUCHAR: Okay, but, let’s continue with other cases because it’s a bit of a pattern.

1. He really was patronizing

Trypical fugging ReTHUG

[procon]

2. He was patronizing and condescending toward her as well.

He comes across as disciplinarian father figure talking down to women. He whole demeanor changed and he seemed irate that some 'girl' would dare question him. If confirmed, women could not expect to find equal treatment in his rulings.

[JudyM]

3. We need more women senators calling him out, then. It's like the Melissa McCarthy-Spicer "insult" -

can't let a woman be on equal footing...

13. Gorsuch is a DICK. His smug ass was nauseating -- who falls for that crap? Barf.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Is this the straw that sinks

Gorsuch? Learned years ago,those who act in a condescending manner,have short careers. Neil might have to return to The Springs and Lawyer for his Church.

11. I wonder what the three female Justices thought of his answers. RBG, gritting her teeth I bet. LOL

[kentuck]

12. He seemed patronizing and quick to anger...

from what I saw. Not a great judicial temperament, in my opinion.
