WASHINGTON – An upbeat Justice Neil Gorsuch wasted little time getting to work in his first public session Monday as the 113th member of the Supreme Court.

Sitting at the far right end of the nine-member bench, Gorsuch spent the morning hearing three oral arguments, each lasting about an hour. In his first case, considering a federal workplace discrimination claim, the newest justice was among the most active of questioners -- unusual for the court "rookie."

Gorsuch hit the ground running.

[Col Frank Slade]

I bet Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg had a sour puss face for the rookie usurper.

[BenLurkin]

She usually sleeps through oral argument.

[donozark]

Was ‘Buzzi Ginsberg awake to hear Gorsuch questions?

[TheDon]

Thank you President Trump and those who voted for you. Thank you!

[Buckeye McFrog]

She usually sleeps through oral argument.

Yeah, she only needs to wake-up to sign the opinion once her clerk has written it.

[caww]

Sounds like Gorsuch is going to be the pace setter...love it! Assumes control!

Trump to Gorsich...."Now go show them how it's done!"...

[caww]

The bar was just raised!

Moving Gorsuch from the "WINNING" column to the (rare) Paradigm Shift category.

Isn’t that his job?

[spokeshave]

...and waiting on Sessions to implement prosecution of assemblies of masked "protesters"

...and follow the money.

I bet Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg had a sour puss face for the rookie usurper.

More likely she was passed out drunk.

Now they’ll be telling us he’s doing Scotus wrong and how Merrick Garland wouldn’t have had to ask any silly qauestions.

[Parley Baer]

“I bet Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg had a sour puss face for the rookie usurper.
More likely she was passed out drunk.”

She probably had little idea as to what was going on and has to rely on her clerks to tell her what happened.

[BBB333]

“I bet Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg had a sour puss face for the rookie usurper.”

I guess this is Trump grabbing RBG by the ‘sour pussy face’ so to speak...

[rfp1234]

Broke mold? Now the fungal rights advocates will protest.

[Eddie01]

At this point. Get the paddles, let them power up with a high frequency whine and then hit the Justice and shove a pen in her hand.

[knarf]

I did the same thing four years ago when I was first elected to the school board.

I STILL ask (I'm sure to them what been there 12 and more years .. silly .. ) questions.

The advantage to asking questions is the answer is vocal and all in earshot HEARS it.

There is no ambiguity when asked if the sky is blue and the answer is "yes" ... now and forever settled.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes I expect that. I expect the liberals in the media to dissect and parse his questions. And then they will tell us that he was asking questions that a 1st year law student knows the answers to, and question how smart he is, how well does he really know the law, etc etc.

[COBOL2Java]

Isn’t that his job?

To reset the "New Normal" back to its proper place?

Yes. Yes it is.
