Agree. In the back of my mind, there is a little voice saying ‘Souter’. I haven’t read up on Gorsuch, but Republicans often get the wool pulled over their eyes when it comes to stealth SCOTUS judges. I pray that Gorsuch IS an original intent type of judge. This country won’t survive another Leftist majority court (especially when the ‘persuasive Leftist judges’ can get supposed Conservatives to vote PROGRESSIVE anyway).

Going back at least to Earl Warren. Chief Justice Roberts bent logic into strange new shapes in his legitimization of Obamacare. We can only hope that Trump's team has done a great job of vetting Gorsuch.

For once, though, I'd like to see an activist conservative on the SC - liberals keep piling on justices bent on advancing their social and political agendas through the courts, while conservatives fight to appoint judges who merely try to maintain the status quo instead of advancing conservative principles. This is a losing strategy for the long term.
