WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate Judiciary Committee's top Democrat voiced frustration on Wednesday at U.S. Supreme Court selection Neil Gorsuch's elusive answers to questions on major legal issues, though his nomination appeared to be moving forward smoothly.

President Donald Trump's nominee for a lifetime job on the nation's highest court faced another round of questions on the third day of his Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing after enduring 11 hours of questioning on Tuesday. If confirmed by the full U.S. Senate, as expected, he would reinstate a conservative majority on the court.
