Re: “New National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster is the Neil Gorsuch of generals.”

I hope not.

I am not impressed by Gorsuch.

He clerked for two center-left “swing vote” Judges in the Supreme Court, which means both Justice Kennedy and Justice White felt that Gorsuch would support their center-left orientation.

Also, Gorsuch’s comment to arch-Leftist Senator Richard Blumenthal that Trump's criticism of a federal judge was “disheartening” and “demoralizing” was beyond belief.

Can any Freeper imagine Judge Scalia saying something like that?

Finally, the fact that Never-Trump National Review Online strongly supports Gorsuch worries me even more.

Sen. Blumenthal is a known liar. He lied about serving in Viet Nam.

I heard that was fake news, that Gorsuch had commented that the criticism in general was disheartening and demoralizing, not that Trump’s remarks were.

And it turns out that Gorsuch is some kind of Episcopalian. [/s]

I’m not impressed with Gorsuch either, since he seems to be at best a modestly improved version of Kennedy, but White was one of the original dissenters in Roe vs. Wade and that established his conservative credentials.

You forgot to list membership on the Council of Foreign Relations.

Agreed. I have skepticism towards the neutral “respected by all” types. The way Mike Flynn was kicked out attests to how good he really was. He challenged the status quo, stood for something, and therefore was a threat. :(

If Gorsuch is center-left, why are the dems fighting to delay his appointment?????

Add to that Scalia’s views were informed by Orthodox Catholicism; Gorsuch goes to the same type of church that produced David Souter. Let’s hope for the best but we might be disappointed in many ways.

Also, Travis McGee I think posted on FB (or maybe I read it from another poster on his thread) that Gorsuch said that the Second Amendment was a precious freedom and not one to be trifled with lightly. That worries me. Because it seems to indicate that given a certain level of concern, he WOULD mess with the Second Amendment.
