Honestly, I had never heard of this guy Gorsuch before. All I know about Judge Gorsuch comes from president Trump's fulsome introduction last night on TV and some kind words from Bill O'Reilly and Charles Krauthammer later in the evening.
Let's hope Judge Gorsuch sticks to his word, given on TV last night, to judge according to the written law, as understood by those who wrote it at the time they wrote it. The liberal notion of a "living constitution" is just propaganda advocating the courts to make up new law from the bench. It's a totally undemocratic notion. In a democracy, new law comes from the elected legislature, not appointed judges. Over the years, liberals have used the courts to pass laws that never would have passed a legislature. Some of them were disasters or disgraces. Dred Scott started the Civil War. Plessy vs Ferguson was a disgrace for a half century. Roe vs Wade touched off a culture war that lasts until this very day.
Getting Judge Gorsuch approved by the Senate looks to be real circus. I'm gonna get me some popcorn and watch the clowns.
