Richard Blumenthal actually said...

"I deplore statements criticizing the integrity or intelligence of members of our judiciary across the board."

"I am deeply troubled by the attacks on our judiciary and most especially from the President of the United States."

"Our courts are the envy of the world. They depend on the faith and confidence of the public."

"When the history of this era is written, my view is that the heroes will be our independent judiciary and our free press."
