Hey, I posted that Gorsuch thread from yesterday. And I said right away that many FReepers think Gorsuch is a loser. No better than Crazy Ginsberg. And sure enough, it wasn’t long before those FReepers came out.

Different camps. Different POV’s Who knows? We all thought Roberts was all that great when he was nominated. Turns out that Harriet Myers might have been the right choice after all.
