Gorsuch sounds like a complete A-hole

After his Senate confirmation last April, Gorsuch skipped the first scheduled justices-only meeting even though Roberts encouraged him to attend. He fired off a raft of dissenting opinions, some that seemed to scold his colleagues. He has dominated oral arguments, cutting off and correcting other justices, expounding on the scope of the Constitution.

The right wing religious based bias is now firmly established. At some point we should consider renaming this court under Roberts which has basically undermined one of our most basic rights, the right to vote. With the unchecked gerrymandering and the decision to let people of means buy elections through unbound amounts of donations some of which have been made untraceable.
Our country, year by year, is losing its place in the world as a symbol of a democracy with a sense of compassion for others. Trump with his appointment of Gorsuch has accelerated our decline.

Drumpf is a criminal traitor and fraud who only picks criminal traitorous frauds who swear personal loyalty to him. gorsuch s a plant, nothing more, and an ever present danger to our country and constitution. He hates working class and loves 1%.

So glad RBG took him down a peg and very publicly. She's a total treasure!
