There is no confusion of original intent only perversion thereof.

My point is that we are now at the point where her nonsensical rhetoric is typical of what much of America believes. I'm opposed to her views as well.

(Like the trucker who was freezing to death and was fired by his employer for leaving his rig unattended.......Gorsuch ruled that the firing was appropriate.)

I really haven't been following his hearings much, so I am not sold either way yet.
This ruling is EXACTLY why he's perfect for the job. He rules on LAW, not on FEELINGS. Was the employer a jerk in this case? Yup. But was he within his rights to fire the trucker? Yup.

The left has made is clear that they want someone that will rule with "feeling". That's not how things work in this country. Thank goodness. Because in this age of hyper-sensitivity to every alleged slight, it would be a disaster.

Do you think he nominated a judge he didn't want, Garland was a moderate and he would have worked out fine. He served up a softball to the republicans and they totally overreacted running around like chicken little, no good deed goes unpunished.


I understand the vote will be April 3, I hope the democrats just approve him and move on because this nonsense is bad for the country.

Yes there is confusion and that is exactly why we have a supreme court, go look at some of Scalia's rulings. He was not a robot.

I got the impression that Gorsuch followed the law even if it meant making an unpopular decision. Leftists like Warren don't like that. They want activist judges that legislate from the bench, and that is not how the justice system is supposed to work.

One of the largest issues we have is the Citizens United Ruling, Many democrats and also some republicans disagreed with the ruling, it was a 5-4 split but I don't see this being solved anytime soon. Maybe congress will address this deficiency, in my dreams.

As long as he's in touch with the Constitution he can we in or out of touch with the mainstream. It doesn't matter.

Liz Warren supports the interpretude of those defending their agendas.

Size matters.

Many believe that a thousands pounds of feathers outweigh a pound of gold, by sheer size difference.

Size and sides, size and sides - Most people judge by their visibilities.

Some people flatter, and some people feather.

Lots of 'em have bird brains. Take Elizabeth Warren . . .

Think about how much she ways.

It's all ways one way or another.

She wore a feather to prove her Indian flatter.

She flatterizes.

If a feather can get you some Affirmative Action, examine the weight difference of a feather over a gold coin.

Featherlewd or flatterlewd. Tude or lewd - I always get my suffixes mixed somehow.
