The Democrats said they saw signs Gorsuch will be a conservative activist on the bench, not a neutral judge

There is no such thing as a conservative activist judge. A conservative upholds the law, including the supreme law of the land, the constitution. An activist judge makes law, which by definition make him a modern liberal.

A conservative upholds the law, including the supreme law of the land, the constitution.

That's exactly right, according to my understanding. The Supreme Court is an inherently conservative component of the Federal Government, by conception. The Left was on the verge of converting it into a ruling council, dispensing Law according to arbitrary tenents.
