Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will vote against Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court and called on fellow Democrats to try to block confirmation.
"After careful deliberation I have concluded that I cannot support Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court," Schumer, of New York, said on the Senate floor Thursday. "He will have to earn 60 votes for confirmation. My vote will be no and I urge my colleagues to do the same."
