Gorsuch reiterated in public what he had told many senators in private — that he is offended by attacks like the ones leveled by President Trump against federal judges who have ruled in the past year in cases involving him. “When anyone criticizes the honesty or the integrity or the motives of a federal judge, I find that disheartening. I find that demoralizing — because I know the truth,” Gorsuch told Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).
“Anyone including the president of the United States?” Blumenthal asked, who had made the elephant-in-the-room comment.
“Anyone is anyone,” Gorsuch said.

I think that if he is conservative, he has to know there are fellow judges (like the one in Hawaii) who make politically motivated decisions or are activity judges.
Blumenthal.
Great argument support you’ve got there.
I loathe him, because of what he keeps saying, which is a load of codswallop, weasel words, and sounds like he is NOT what his supporters claim he is, at all.
Yes, I know about this; it’s one of many RED FLAGS that have turned my stomach.
He might want to explain why he so strongly dissents with Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR and other presidents who strongly criticized judges with whom they disagreed.
Judges are not saints, demigods or philosopher kings. Criticizing judges or other government officials is a right of all ciitizens.
