U.S. Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch said Tuesday he wouldn’t hesitate to rule against Donald Trump if the law required it. He also told senators he made no promises to Trump about how he would decide any case, even though the president briefly mentioned abortion when the two met.
Answering questions in a marathon session Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Gorsuch defended his decade-long record on a federal appeals court and vowed to follow the law no matter who is involved in an issue.
