The question will be: are minds being changed? I think we all know the answer.

it could make it harder for the conservatives to sway him to their side. Justices do change their votes based on arguments put forward by their fellow justices and there is some negotiation which takes place. Gorsuch antagonizing even the conservative justices could actually matter - not a lot but it is not meaningless.

(think Thomas), then he won't be leading the writing on many decisions.

Given that he's a tool of the right, I'm content that he not be one of the sharper ones.

he's the Ted Cruz of the Supreme Court.

Whiny guy can't take the heat.

the Justices.

whose job it was to methodically evaluate and determine a nominee's fitness for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court and vote accordingly..............

Gorsuch is an example of dripping white privilege. He is unctuous and entitled. Of course he would rub people the wrong way. Imagine being one of the younger members of the court and know that you are going to have to work with this guy for the rest of your life. That would be rough.

That alone says much about his character.

Even John Roberts, why, IIRC, was able to bypass some process or another because they were nominating him to be Chief Justice, not just Justice.

That apple didn't fall far from the tree.

I suspect Gorsuch too is a textbook alum of that same legal extremist chop shop that also gifted us Alito & Scalia; it was founded by
Henry Regnery

I'm old enough to remember his late mother's disastrous term as the head of the EPA, under Ronald Rayguns. She lasted a couple of years (81- 83) but ultimately was forced to resign because of a scandal with the handling of the Superfund environmental cleanup program. Little Neil was raised by that harridan. Her term could be considered a template for Pruitt, although he takes more chartered flights (the hoi pololi are sooo annoying...)

Very much.

The innocent bystander being a litigant. The blood being bile from this lowlife fuck.

he is for sure a lowlife fuck, but born into the aristocracy that is now running America.

During the Senate hearings he came off phony and creepy.i thought it was fake when he laughed and when he got emotional.

I do judge a book by its cover and his cover is shrink wrapped...too clean. Underneath it you know that there is something rotting and foul.

so-called "conservative" opinions are usually either selfish greed or childish ignorance and superstition. Neither will stand up to a well-spoken liberal.

He stole the seat, shat over the Senate and now blows up the Court.
He is the worst outside of the orange nero

Kind of like the weird Ruth Bader Ginsburg / Antonin Scalia friendship.

since it requires a lot more oil and butter to make it taste good. The melted sorbet sounds more accurate.

He job is to gum up the works.

hearing that Gorsuch was a smarmy and arrogant. Had I been one of the senators he met with, I'd've been sorely tempted to punch him in the nose.

I love reading/learning this.

But I remember when Kagan was proposed, some people got very nasty, they said "she will never vote for gay marriage." and "she will join the right wing."

WELLLLLLOL, it looks like some people owe her an apology, because she is turning out to be the exact buttress against Gory sucks we needed.

just sits there.

May gosuck have a stressful and thoroughly unpleasant tenure on the Supreme Court.

Occupying a stolen seat never works out well.


Oh, and Nina, gosuck doesn't bring anything new to the conversation because, like most pukes in power, he is only interested in steamrolling opposition in order to impose his agenda on everyone else. And has crappy ideas that sound ridiculous in a reasoned debate.
