However, I'll be absolutely shocked if Gorsuch votes to overturn any liberal "precedents" that SCOTUS has passed, like gay marriage or abortion-on-demand.
I wonder if his fan club here will stop worshipping him WHEN he votes with the leftist judges to uphold them. (IMO, it's not a matter of "if" but when)
Sadly, he probably won't show his true colors until he's already been on a court for several years, and maybe even after Trump is no longer POTUS. It wasn't until about '89 or so that people figured out Sandra Day O'Connor was NOT a social conservative. In her first three years on the court, she voted with Rehnquist like 90% of the time.
And I sure as hell am tired of FReepers saying any judge who claims to be "originalist" will magically vote the right way the rest of their career. If there's one argument that's PROVEN to be a failure, its that one. In fact, we can thank SCOTUS upholding Obamacare on Bush's "originalist" judge, John Roberts (and Roberts background was FAR better than Gorsuch's)
I want a conservative judge, I don't give a crap what they claim their "judicial philosophy" is. It means as much to me as what their favorite color is.
I WISH that were true. Gorsuch clerked for Kennedy and FReepers had orgasms over the pick.
