Neil Gorsuch

Friday 19th of April 2024

Affirmative action Both schools frequently choose to award a “tip” or a “plus” to applicants from  certain racial groups but not others. These tips or plusses are just what they sound like—“factors that might tip an applicant into [an] admitted class.” … And in a process where applicants compete for a limited pool of spots, “[a] tip for one race” necessarily works as “a penalty against other races.” Neil Gorsuch, concurring in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v.  Harvard College and University of North Carolina [NOTE: tips for athletes and relatives of alumni, donors, and faculty are presumed to be unrelated to race, color, or national origin] © 2023 Kwiple.com
Bad news Senate Republicans and three Democrats – Joe Donnelly (IN), Heidi Heitkamp (SD)  and Joe Manchin (WV) – conspire to appoint Neil Gorsuch as Chief Injustice of the Supreme Court, deligitimizing themselves and it © 2017 Kwiple.com
Bullshitters say I empathize with him entirely. Neil Gorsuch, feigning sympathy for the truck driver who he argued had been justifiably fired for abandoning a trailer that broke down to seek shelter from 14-below temperatures after waiting more than three hours for help, during which his torso had become numb © 2017 Kwiple.com
Bullshitters say My personal views, I tell you, Mr. Chairman, are over here. I leave those at home. Neil Gorsuch, during his confirmation hearing for appointment to the Supreme Court, claiming to be tabula rasa when he decides court cases, which explains why Republicans stole a seat on the Court to ensure he'll sit in it and vote reliably Republican for decades to come  © 2017 Kwiple.com
Christian right Five years ago, many evangelical voters still felt distaste for Mr Trump's libertine personality. They quickly learned he was the kind of pugilist they wanted. The likely Supreme Court confirmation next week of Amy Coney Barrett, and that of Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch before her are testaments to that. America's Christian right has embraced its inner Vladimir Lenin – the end justifies the means. Edward Luce, Financial Times, October 15, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Dead-in-the-heads say His [Neil Gorsuch's] nomination carries with it a superlegitimacy. … The American people played very direct role in helping choose this nominee. Ted Cruz, who thinks superlegitimacy is conferred by refusing to consider Democratic nominees, and by electing a president who encourages mob violence against protesters at his rallies; who requested and received Russian help in influencing the outcome of the election; who lost the popular vote by millions; and who depends on anti-democratic institutions like lying, the Electoral College, the Senate, nepotism, voter suppression, gerrymandering and pandering to the rich © 2017 Kwiple.com

Minority rule Minority rule has, in turn, skewed the composition of the Supreme Court. Under Mr. Trump, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh became the first two Supreme Court justices in history to be appointed by a president who lost the popular vote and then be confirmed by senators who  represented less than half the electorate. Amy Coney Barrett is likely to become the third. Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, New York Times, October 23, 2020  © 2020 Kwiple.com
Political inequality  Four of nine current Supreme Court justices — Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — were confirmed by a Senate majority that collectively won a minority of the popular vote in Senate elections and represented less than half of the American population. And three of them — Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett — were also nominated by a president who lost the popular vote.

Surely you jest Actual questions Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch: Does a good judge decide who should win and then work backward to try to justify the outcome? — — — How in the world is Gorsuch able to go so many hours without peeing? — — — What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything? — — — What's the largest trout you've ever caught? — — — Would you rather fight a hundred duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? — — — Would you tell me where your favorite fishing stream is and don't say “Notellum Creek”? © 2017 Kwiple.com
