Ginsburg Slaps Gorsuch in Gerrymandering Case
Ginsburg Slaps Gorsuch in Gerrymandering CaseBy Jeffrey Toobin
In one cutting remark, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg summed up how Justice Neil Gorsuch’s patronizing lecture on the Constitution omitted some of the Court’s most important precedents. ...................
The argument had gone on for nearly an hour when Gorsuch began a question as follows: “Maybe we can just for a second talk about the arcane matter of the Constitution.” There was a rich subtext to this query. Originalists and textualists such as Gorsuch, and his predecessor on the Court, Antonin Scalia, often criticize their colleagues for inventing rights that are not found in the nation’s founding document. Gorsuch’s statement that the Court should spare “a second” for the “arcane” subject of the document was thus a slap at his ideological adversaries; of course, they, too, believe that they are interpreting the Constitution, but, in Gorsuch’s view, only he cares about the document itself.
Gorsuch went on to give his colleagues a civics lecture about the text of the Constitution. “And where exactly do we get authority to revise state legislative lines? When the Constitution authorizes the federal government to step in on state legislative matters, it’s pretty clear—if you look at the Fifteenth Amendment, you look at the Nineteenth Amendment, the Twenty-sixth Amendment, and even the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 2.” In other words, Gorsuch was saying, why should the Court involve itself in the subject of redistricting at all—didn’t the Constitution fail to give the Court the authority to do so?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is bent with age, can sometimes look disengaged or even sleepy during arguments, and she had that droopy look today as well. But, in this moment, she heard Gorsuch very clearly, and she didn’t even raise her head before offering a brisk and convincing dismissal. In her still Brooklyn-flecked drawl, she grumbled, “Where did ‘one person, one vote’ come from?” ....................

Maybe he'll learn something from the people who have been doing it for a lot longer.
Just sayin'
...or maybe not. It would be nice though.
May she live long and stay on the court for years to come, we need her desperately. Here's to you RBG!!! 
Gorsuch is going to miss out on getting the Supreme Court’s ‘Entry Level Employee of the Year’ award.

And just maybe you can see the "notes" how the thinking was presented by all of the participates that left "notes" when it came to the individual right of VOTING for the individual person having that "one" vote
