Gorsuch to Feinstein: Here are a lot of “little guy” rulings you seem to have overlooked
HotAir ^ | March 21, 2017 | Ed Morrissey

GORSUCH: Respectfully, I’d suggest that does not represent the body of my work. I’ve written two thousand — I’ve participate in 2,700 opinions over ten years. And if you want cases where I’ve ruled for “the little guy,” as well as “the big guy,” there are plenty of those, Senator. The Ute Indian tribe —

FEINSTEIN: Would you be willing to submit some of them? It’s hard to read 2,700 cases — [crosstalk]

GORSUCH: Oh, I’ll name a bunch them right now. [crosstalk] I’m sorry, Senator, of course. Ute 5 and 6. Fletcher. The Rocky Flats case, which vindicated the rights of people who had been subject to pollution from large companies in Colorado — uranium pollution. I’d point you to the Magnesium case, similar pollution case in the Salt Lake City area. Colorado’s effort with renewable energy; upheld that. Orr v City of Albuquerque, involving pregnancy discrimination in a police department in Albuquerque. WD Sports, a discrimination claim. Casey, Energy West, Crane, Simpson v CU, involving young women who had been harassed by the football team. AM, Browder, Sutton — I can give you a long, long list.

By this time, Feinstein was clearly embarrassed, but Gorsuch wasn’t finished,:

GORSUCH: And Senator, the bottom line, I think is, is I’d like to convey to you from the bottom of my heart is that I’m a fair judge. And I think if you ask people in the Tenth Circuit, “Is he a fair judge?”, you’re going to get the answer that you got yesterday from both Senator Bennet and Senator Gardener and from General Katyal, and the same answer you got from Senator Allard and Senator Salazar ten years ago. And Senator, I can’t guarantee you more than that — but I can promise you absolutely nothing less.

Dianne is 83 years old. She’s not as sharp as she used to be.

She got nailed by his answer. She had no clue as to his record as a judge.

Gorsuch” *My job is not to make the law; my job is to apply the law.*

Schooled ‘em good.

I sensed Gorsuch was getting a little upset with the questioning [from Durban]; he kept his cool.

I can’t imagine going through this autopsy, while you are still alive. Takes bigly guts.

Gorsuch is a rare gem! Kudos to *45* for picking him.

They can’t help themselves- they way overe4stimate their own intelligence- every single time- you would think they would have learned by now, but nope- you can’t teach an old democrat new tricks-

That's because they don't have to be smart to get into office - Al Franken is case in point - you just have to be smarter than the electorate that puts you in office year after year after year ...

Can anybody tell me who the Black Woman behind Gorsuch is?

Means nothing.
There is considerable loathing and such for Murphy and Blumenthal in CT but the gimedats keep voting them back in.
I am sure its the same everywhere

Feinstein and the rest of the Demonrats don’t get it and will never get it. As a judge you don’t rule for the little guy or the big guy, you simply uphold the law.

my extended family includes a federal judge in the SW USA who knows Mr. Gorsuch personally..has worked with him in the recent past.

he stated that there is no more perfect candidate than this man, for this role. conservatives will be happy with him.

my extended family member also was very good friends with Judge Scalia. Went fishing with him on a regular basis. Mr. Scalia was an accomplished fly fisherman.

I thought before the law we were all equal - no big guys or little guys - the left lets their bogeymen rich people and big corporations distort their view of proper government once again.......
