Liberal journalists are worried about Neil Gorsuch. The October 16 issue of Time magazine fretted of the newly-minted conservative Supreme Court justice: “Does Justice Neil Gorsuch talk too much?" Writer Tessa Berenson touted liberal critics complaining about Gorsuch “ruffling some feathers.”
It didn’t take long for the newest member to make his presence known on the Court. Gorsuch, a conservative judge nominated by President Trump and confirmed in April, had been sitting in his first oral argument last spring for just 10 minutes before he asked his first question. Over the next hour, he asked 21 more, posing more questions at his first oral argument than any of his eight colleagues did at theirs. He blew past Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s previous record of 15 questions at her first oral argument, according to Adam Feldman, who runs a blog tracking Supreme Court data.
That’s rare for a freshman justice. By the Court’s unwritten rules, new members are often seen more they are heard. “I think he has ruffled some feathers on the Court,” Garrett Epps, a professor at University of Baltimore School of Law, says of the newest justice.
Eventually, she got to the real question: “In its new term beginning October 2, the Supreme Court will consider many pressing questions. Can a baker refuse to make a cake for a gay wedding? Can states redraw districts to help a political party? And, does Justice Neil Gorsuch talk too much?”
Berenson cited another liberal, activist Nan Aaron:
Justices often give speeches to liberal or conservative groups, but Democrats are upset by the optics of Gorsuch’s recent appearances. “Generally, Supreme Court justices, whether appointed by Democrats or Republicans, do their best to avoid any outward support for an administration,” says Nan Aron, president of liberal judicial advocacy group Alliance for Justice, who argues Gorsuch has “erased any possibility that he is anything other than a partisan.”
To be fair, the journalist also included some conservative fans of Gorsuch. But how often have Barack Obama’s appointees been chastised for “talking too much?”
When Gorsuch was nominated, outlets such as CBS and the Washington Post fretted that he was either "right" or "far-right." In contrast, Sonia Sotomayor, appointed by Barack Obama, was "not nearly as liberal" as you may have heard.
“Does Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg sleep too much? “
Does the Blue Collar inflate?
Imagine that. Trump appointed a justice who isn’t behaving “the way we do it here.”
:^)
Gorsuch is an equal member of the SC.
There is no such thing as a junior SC Justice.
It's right there in the penumbra of the Constitution.
Beat me to it!
Is TIME MAGAZINE irrelevant? YES!
“Does Neil Gorsuch Talk Too Much?”
“Does Justice Thomas ask ANY questions?”
Blah, Blah, Blah.
(Never is it “Does ‘Buzzy‘ Ruth Ginsburg ever stay awake during sessions”)
Blah, Blah, Blah.
Clarence Thomas talks too little, Gorsuch talks too much but liberal judges are just right. F whatever the liberals think, they are domestic enemies and traitors to their country.
He should be quiet like Ruthie.
On the other hand, lefties complain that Justice Clarence Thomas doesn’t talk enough - if you’re a conservative, you can’t win......
>> But Clarence Thomas is criticized by the same people for not asking anything during oral arguments proving his sub-par intellect and legal skills - or at least according to the libs.<<
Yet I’ve read commentary on Justice Thomas praising him for writing many of the clearest and most constitutionally cogent opinions coming out of the SCUS.
just the opposite; the unwise latina was widely adored for being such a verbal pain in the ass.
>> Does Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg sleep too much?<<
Buzzie had been an embarrassment to the Court since her first day there.
Just the point I was going to make. Which means conservatives should tell liberals to F off, as they will always find fault in our actions, no matter what they are, while ignoring how nonsensical their notions are, as proven time and time again by how they have failed when tried.
His dissent to Gonzales v Raich, aka The Commerce Clause decision, is devastating to the majority opinion. Which means nothing, but felt good.
>>Clarence Thomas talks too little, Gorsuch talks too much but liberal judges are just right. F whatever the liberals think, they are domestic enemies and traitors to their country.<<
Well and truly said.
They don’t seem to mind when Ruth Bader Dimbulb says all sorts of things.
Very good point. One vote is one vote.
It’s mean to bait the shark-jumpers...;-)
Tell that to Ruth Ginsburg.
