America’s newest Supreme Court Justice – Neil Gorsuch – has made news in the liberal media – not necessarily for his opinions though.
The media has portrayed the Trump-appointee as pedantic, boorish and juvenile and annoying.
This is hard to square with the praise Gorsuch received from colleagues and former law clerks during his confirmation hearing, writes Elizabeth Slattery in a (commentary) on Heritage.org.
In a recent episode of the Supreme Court podcast “First Mondays,” NPR’s legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg took aim at Gorsuch. First in her crosshairs was his habit of frequently citing the Constitution. She objected to Gorsuch bringing things back to first principles at oral argument. He often prefaces his questions by saying, “Let’s look at what the Constitution says about this … It’s always a good place to start.” This should come as no surprise.
[snip] But it annoys liberals, who want a “modern” interpretation of the Constitution, without the baggage of the historical record.

Nina totenburg and the NPR news team are little more than Communist which (if you can believe anything in the news) the millennial's are embracing due to the lack of an education devoid in American history and our Constitution, a document so admired by Socialist and Communist alike abroad, they copy and would like to use it all...however, the big tickets, freedom and liberty is not how they govern.
Our young are not taught those principals anymore, in fact their teachers and some parents believe Socialism/Communism is a better way to live. How silly/stupid and dangerous these people are.
Why not cite the Constitution when this is exactly what the Court interprets and renders opinions on? Seriously, where does NPR get stupid statements like this?
Needa ToteBag is still around?
Doesn’t she represent White Supremacy?
Why is she still around?
This is NPrrrrr ....
“...where does NPR get stupid statements like this?...”
That question kinda answers itself...They are liberals...
“where does NPR get stupid statements like this?”
I know they’re paid for with taxpayer dollars.
L
NPR is a government- funded news site, under the control of America’s left/progressives.
shut it down.
Who does the Totebag want SCOTUS to “cite”? Marx, Stalin, Hitler and Alinsky?
The Constitution to a liberal is like a Crucifix to a vampire....................
I predicted years ago, that sooner or later, they’re going to try to declare the Constitution unconstitutional.
Nina only cares about pubic hairs.
It’s a macro aggression of Liberal Assault.
Why are we still funding NPR?
NPR are leftist loons(brainfornicateus pileoturdus).
Defund NPR.
That nasty Constitution says that the Kenyanesian Usurper could not be President.
Their messiah was never eligible under our Constitution.
He is not a natural born citizen.
At least the liberals are consistent. They have both methods of Constitutional Interpretation: Postmodern Interpretations, and Deconstruction.
