Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Thursday that Judge Neil Gorsuch brought the Supreme Court confirmation process to a new low during this week's confirmation hearings.

The former Democratic presidential candidate expressed his intention to oppose President Trump's high court selection in a series of tweets blasting the judge.

"Judge Gorsuch refused to answer legitimate questions and brought the confirmation process to a new low in a thick fog of evasion," Sanders tweeted.

Gorsuch repeatedly refused to answer questions about cases and controversies that might come before the court during his three days before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

He continued, "We cannot risk a Supreme Court that would put in jeopardy the privacy rights of all Americans and a woman's right to control her body."

Sanders opposition is not a surprise, but comes as Democratic leadership is looking to unify its ranks against Gorsuch's confirmation. During the fourth day of hearings on Gorsuch's confirmation, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed his intent to force Gorsuch to earn 60 votes for his confirmation.
