In the 12 p.m. ET hour on Tuesday, following the first few hours of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch being questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee, MSNBC anchor Brian Williams admitted: “I think, the expression in English is ‘It's tough to lay a glove on this guy.’”
Legal analyst Ari Melber agreed: “I didn't see a single glove laid on him. He performed himself admirably, calmly at almost all times and with detail, but never much candor about his views, which, many experts would say, he's not supposed to.” “Judge Gorsuch, I think, showed exactly why legal conservatives and Trump fans could agree on him as a great pick...At times conservative, but conservative in his words within the legal mainstream,” Melber added.
