After a long day at Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch's confirmation hearing, a much-needed laugh was enjoyed by the audience and Gorsuch himself.

When Republican Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse addressed the nominee, he surprised the crowd by reading aloud a text he received from his wife earlier that day.

He said: 'My wife also sent me a text a little bit ago and said, and I'm sure she didn't expect me to read it: 'How in the world is Gorsuch able to go so many hours at a time without peeing?''

He continued: 'I won't make you answer, but the SCOTUS bladder is something the whole country stands in awe of.'

The text was met with raucous laughter from the audience and Gorsuch bent over in hysterics at the Senator's speech.

After an intense all-day session for Gorsuch's confirmation hearings as the nominee for Supreme Court Justice, a brief lighthearted moment was well received.

The Denver federal judge was Trump's top pick to serve as Supreme Court Justice during his administration.

Gorsuch was answering questions from Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, who referred to Trump as the 'elephant in the room' in Gorsuch's hearing.

On Tuesday, he made headlines by commenting publicly for the first time on the president's controversial claims against other Supreme Court justices.

In February, Trump described the Seattle judge who put a stay on his immigration and travel ban a 'so-called judge' in a tweet.

'I know these people, and how decent they are, and when anyone criticizes the honesty or integrity or motives of a federal judge, I find that disheartening and I find that demoralizing,' Gorsuch said during his Senate confirmation hearing.
