Neil Gorsuch
February 01, 2017
Vox has a very good introduction to the judge and his approach to the law. He sounds acceptable to me. I have never opposed justices for their ideological positions (I'm too young to have known enough when Bork was being debated). I've only objected to Thomas and Harriet Miers because they didn't seem to be the best qualified. I may disagree with Judge Gorsuch on some issues, but he passes my test for someone who is qualified, respected, and within the broad mainstream of American constitutional law.
Yes, I do think the GOP Senate stole this seat, but blocking this nominee will not heal that breach of constitutional norms.
