Highlight:

as a CO native I have to say, Gorsuch seems to be a straight shooter. [View all] librechik Mar 2017 OP

He's a phoney flamingdem Mar 2017 #1

Gorsuch seems to be a smoother version of Scalia. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #2

And possibly further right dhol82 Mar 2017 #6

Did he learn his ethics at his mother's knee? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #9

Yup, there is that. dhol82 Mar 2017 #10

It's the "corporate shill" part that disqualifies him, in my mind. Anti-consumer is not good. SharonAnn Mar 2017 #14

He's a slime BannonsLiver Mar 2017 #3

Oh heavens no, he will do everything Scalia did, but with a smile. Eliot Rosewater Mar 2017 #4

I'd say it's a legal issue when a party conspires to directly obstruct articles of the constitution Jonny Appleseed Mar 2017 #21

I agree--whom do we appeal to? librechik Mar 2017 #22

The fact that he stands as a nominee for a vacancy that occurred Tanuki Mar 2017 #41

He'll probably be confirmed, The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2017 #15

I don't trust him. And we need to avenge Obama's stolen SCOTUS seat. MoonRiver Mar 2017 #16

His rulings indicate he would be at least as conservative as Scalia, and likely more so. BzaDem Mar 2017 #19

He is to the right of Scalia! How is that ok? He's just better at selling himself. JudyM Mar 2017 #63

my bottom line is--if Gorsuch were really interested in law, he should have recused the nomination librechik Mar 2017 #20
