An ardent texualist is necessary but not sufficient. We need Justices who will interpret the Constitution as written, yes, but in cases where there is a genuine question of possible ambiguity in application, original understanding and intention of the ratifiers should also be used.

A textualist is an originalist who gives primary weight to the text and structure of the Constitution.

Sounds pretty good to me...

Appointing a textualist is the only way to come close to replacing Scalia, as he considered himself a textualist above all else.

HARVARD!! Nope, Ill take a pass. Im so sick and tired of Harvard and Yale. The alumni from those two schools have done more to destroy American than all of the other left wing institutions combined. I dont care if he’s good. There are even better judges out there who went to a real school instead being indoctrinated into the establishment.

I know absolutely nothing about Neil Gorsuch, but here’s what I do know: The moment he (or anyone else) is officially named as Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, the Democrat smear machine will immediately kick into high gear. Within a few days, they will have a sizable number of Americans, who never heard of him before, believing that he is the devil himself. They cannot have an honest, fair, polite, and professional discussion of the candidate’s qualifications for this position. If he is not in 100% complete agreement with their agenda, he must be destroyed, both personally and professionally. That’s what Democrats do. It’s the only thing they know.

Will have to learn more about him before casting judgement on him a s pick, but clerking for Byron White and Anthony Kennedy is a red flag for me.

Indeed, strategy and tactics.

Review on Amazon for his book, The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia, 2009.

“The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia provides the most thorough overview of the ethical and legal issues raised by assisted suicide and euthanasia—as well as the most comprehensive argument against their legalization—ever published.

“In clear terms accessible to the general reader, Neil Gorsuch thoroughly assesses the strengths and weaknesses of leading contemporary ethical arguments for assisted suicide and euthanasia. He explores evidence and case histories from the Netherlands and Oregon, where the practices have been legalized. He analyzes libertarian and autonomy-based arguments for legalization as well as the impact of key U.S. Supreme Court decisions on the debate. And he examines the history and evolution of laws and attitudes regarding assisted suicide and euthanasia in American society.”
