'No man is above the law' Supreme Court pick says on Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch said Tuesday that "no man is above the law"

when pressed on whether President Donald Trump could reinstitute torture as a U.S. interrogation method. The exchange with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina came on Day Two of Gorsuch's confirmation hearing to fill the 13-month vacancy on the Supreme Court.

Graham suggested Trump might be watching the hearing, and asked Gorsuch what would happen if the president tried to reinstate waterboarding, the now-banned torture technique that Trump embraced on the campaign trail.

Graham suggested that Trump "might get impeached" if he tried to do so.

"Senator, the impeachment power belongs to this body," Gorsuch said, but when Graham followed up on whether Trump could be subject to prosecution, Gorsuch said: "No man is above the law, no man."
