Gorsuch: Americans should remember political opponents 'love this country as much as we do'
The Hill ^ | September 7, 2019 | JESSICA CAMPISI

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch in a newly released interview laments a lack of civility in the country while demurring on political questions involving President Trump.

Gorsuch told The Associated Press for a story published Saturday that Americans should remember that their political opponents “love this country as much as we do."

Gorsuch has conducted a series of interviews as the 52-year-old conservative justice makes the rounds to promote his new book, “A Republic, If You Can Keep It,” which is slated for release Tuesday.

As one of the court’s most conservative members, Gorsuch praised federal judges who “believe the Constitution is the greatest charter of human liberty that history’s ever known,” The Post reported.

WRONG you are, Gorsuck.

If the DemonicRats LOVED this country, THEY WOULDN'T BE TRYING TO CONSTANTLY CHANGE OUR CONSTITUTION!

"Hope and CHANGE".. Remember that campaign slogan, Gorsuck? If you LOVE something, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT?

Dim bulb. This has not been true for several decades. Our political opponents pretty much despise America.

Then, why to they want to ‘fundamentally change’ America?

That alone is an admission that they do not like America as it currently is.

some political opponents love this country
and
some do NOT! indeed, many of them openly and avowedly seek to destroy it

the justice needs to be a bit more discerning (which is a trait for a good judge!)

"Civility" is the Virtue-of-the-Month brought to us by the sophisticates at the failing publication National Review. I'll pass on it.

This is the new meme for people in high leadership positions.

They fear a Civil War more than anything else.

"Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegations of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove."- " "A Plea for Liberty: An Argument Against Socialism and Socialistic Legislation," edited by Thomas Mackay (1849 - 1912), Chapter 1, final paragraph">EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON

“A Republic, If You Can Keep It,”

Did you ever consider foreign AND DOMESTIC enemies, Neil? Many Americans hate this country. Some are politicians. Some are judges.

Exactly, Libs are always complaining about the USA. They go overseas and bad month the country. They disrespect the USA at every sporting event. They promise to leave if a certain candidate is elected and never do. They hate our history and almost everything in the country. Sorry Judge but you are way off base with your comment! Just look at the Lib Senators telling the Supreme Court you better get your Mind Straight! That is not an example of respecting the rule of law of the USA!

If you use a word that is ill defined, rationality is no longer able to be used.

Then again, what they call post-modernism is the morning after they found out rationality would never give us pure definitions. So there's that.

No, Neil, you’re wrong on this.

Very distressing comments from Gorsuch.

The miasma of the swamp must have warped his thinking.
Perhaps, too much influence from Chief Justice Roberts at work as well.

We deplorables love our country.
Our opponents are hellbent on destroying it and transforming it into a socialist/communist nightmare.

Thanks. Perhaps we can share it widely among those sites we visit, which might help to counter the propaganda our youth are bombarded with daily.

" Americans should remember political opponents 'love this country as much as we do'"

Well, that is an extremely disappointing comment for Gorsuch to make...

IMHO, it is either an outright lie or a lapse into Roberts-style political propaganda speech!

"political opponents" like the demoncrats can no longer even remotely be considered "Americans"... Not a single one of them anywhere!

When he says ‘we’ he means ‘they’.
