Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) chided Senate Democrats on Monday, arguing they should apply the "Ginsburg standard" to Judge Neil Gorsuch's nomination.

"No hints, no forecasts , no previews that is what has become known as the Ginsburg standard," he said from the Senate floor. "Supreme Court nominees of presidents of both parties have adhered to it."

McConnell pointed to Ruth Bader Ginsburg's opening statement during her 1993 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing outlining what kinds of questions she would not answer.

"A judge sworn to decide impartially can offer no forecast, no hints for that would show not only disregard for the specifics of a particular case it would display disdain for the entire judicial process," she said at the time.
