You really don’t have a clue as to what you are talking about.
1. Barr is NOT recusing. Did you even read? The only thing he’s distancing himself from is the years old plea deal because he was associated with the law firm that handled that plea deal. This is professional ethics 101.
2. Gorsuch is conservative, period. Only brain dead imbeciles would think otherwise, and only because they read the headlines and let the media tell them how to think. While it is true that “Gorsuch sides with ‘liberal justices’ in 4 cases, in each of those cases it was to limit the power of government. One was in an Indian treaty on hunting rights, the others were in criminal justice cases where Gorsuch, LIKE SCALIA, takes a dim view of vague laws.
It’s pretty clear that you have zero legal training, and probably can’t understand the difference between an outcome and the reasoning that gets to that outcome.
Read Gorsuch’s opinions in Hammond and Davis. He cites to original intent, Natural Law, the Constitution and Blackstone. Liberal justices don’t do that. Just because he reached the same result, doesn’t mean he thinks like they do.
The liberals sided with the criminal because they are pro-criminal. Gorsuch doesn’t want the government taking people’s liberty and writing vague laws to do so. Scalia thought exactly the same thing.
In criminal justice cases, Gorsuch is going to be more cautious when it comes to government power, and that’s a good thing.
Gorsuch sided with THOMAS more than any other justice and it’s clear that he aligns most closely with him.
I’d take 3 more Gorsuch type justices on the court in a heartbeat.
thank you. I have read a few of his dissents and find them to be persuasive and well-written and entirely consistent with and supportive of a conservative philosophy.
My question exactly.
The comments here are amazingly unrelated to the post.
You are such a big mouth know it all, I’m not even going to try and respond. The only thing that’s “pretty clear” here is that you must be a handful to live with ( that is if anyone has even dared to actually take on the job).
Bravo at post 18! You nailed it.
I am not an attorney, but I think he is a fantastic Judge who captures the full intent of our founding fathers with every opinion absent politics. He, like Scalia, is contemptuous of the very poorly written laws that we live under... the same laws that leave room for an activist judiciary to legislate from the bench. I wish more people understood this.
His rulings are always guided by the principle of a “free republic”. Where have I heard that before?
