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

Posted on 03/21/2017 9:46:13 AM PDT by Trump20162020

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.

I’ll always remember a speech Scalia gave where he said...

“Sometimes, the little guy isn’t supposed to win”

This woman thing needs to retire and shut the heck up...she wants the USSC to be ‘political’ to liberal needs. She doesn’t understand she lost the election, she has no power for anything...

I just came back from four months in Southern California trying to settle there. I can confidently attest that there is considerable loathing for Feinswine from very many people in that area.

This actually reminds me of the exchange between Little Marco and T-Rex Tillerson. It was a high school journalism student questioning an adult who runs the largest energy corporation in the world.

In short, we’ve learned these past 8 to 16 years that the media knows nothing and that our politicians know nothing and do nothing.

Trump knows people and he said it best on Water’s World when asked to size up a name in a few words. “Chuck Schumer”... Trump: “I thought he’d be a real deal maker. He’s not. He’s an obstructionist. And it’s sad for the American People.”

Of course, if that were the case, we wouldn’t get the satisfaction of seeing her get hoisted on her own petard!

It isn’t difficult at all to see what the old Stalinist hag was trying to do. She wanted to put all these things out there about him not ruling for “the little guy” and she thought that would be the end of it. It would hit the news cycle, she would be in the news saying he never rules for the little guy, and there would be silence on his part.

Then, when he said he had all those cases where he did rule for the “little guy” she said, “Oh, I can’t look through all those” assuming she would achieve her same goal, he began to rattle them off from memory!

I love it! I can just see her twitching as the “stupid liberal trick” program inside her pea-brain runs out of memory...:)

Just love it!

Thank you difi for helping make Gorsuch an excellent choice for SCOTUS. Love it when the alt-left is so helpful.

Fringe lunatic liberals are not used to getting their bullying stopped. Good for Gorsuch in shutting this essobee down.

Rocky Flats was Plutonium and a poorly researched ruling for the cleanup.
The EPA wanted groundwater tested, soil removed and long term validation.

Someone finally pointed out Plutonium is NOT soluble in water and the nonsense the EPA wanted was just that...nonsense.

Right? Nothing says “I am a partisan hack” like that little exchange. Gorsuch looks excellent.

I’ve said the same thing about Ms. Feinstein for well over twenty years: If she hadn’t almost literally used the still-warm corpses of George Moscone and Harvey Milk, as a step-stool, she would never have had a political career outside of SF.

"Because I am the very definition of a 'San Francisco liberal', I live in a bubble, my staff lives in a bubble, we know nothing except what we read in the Slimes or the Compost, and we haven't read anything from any conservative sites because our heads are so far up our bubbles that we don't even know any conservative sites ... ?"

Dianne is 83 years old. She’s not as sharp as she used to be. She probably didn’t have her nap before this hearing (or maybe she was napping during the hearing.) And senility probably is setting in too.

Difi gives boxes of rocks a respectable run in IQ tests.

Donald Trump chooses his enemies well. And Difi rises to the bait every time.

She has ridden that Harvey Milk Train way longer than her ticket should have allowed.
