Justice Gorsuch Tries To Explain Democracy to the Cheap Seats

Justice Neil Gorsuch just published a book, which confimred SCOUTS appointees are wont to do, but it comes with something they may not all want to do—interviews with the machine media. Justice Gorsuch sat for just such an undertaking with Major Garrett at CBS, who, instead of the “Sound of Music” softball questions (please tell me, what are a few of your favorite things), wanted to know about abortion.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch dissected CBS reporter Major Garrett’s claims that the Supreme Court was taking rights away from Americans by overturning “settled” cases like Roe v. Wade during an interview aired on Monday. …

“For those who would say, ‘But I feel something’s been ripped away from me,’ you would say?” Garrett asked Gorsuch.

“I would say that we’re taking it back to you. In a democracy, you’re in the driver’s seat. You’re the sovereign,” Gorsuch said. “Those famous three first words of the Constitution empower you. Do you really want me deciding everything for you?”

I can’t say I’m happy with every Gorsuch vote, but as an aside, for those ideological leftists obsessed with diversity, how often did Kagen and Jackson vote the same way? It is not 100%, but it’s close, so perhaps MoveOn and former drink slinger Sandy Cortez are working too hard to impeach the wrong ideologues. Of course not, and isn’t that amusing? The Gorsuch argument is that true Democracy lies outside the DC Beltway. That “..decent, hard-working Americans — [who] were just trying to make their way in life … [are getting] caught up in the legal system” because they are tripping over [mostly] federal regulations that almost no one knows about.

That’s the democracy the Democrats advocate. It is what Kagen and Sotomayor tend to defend. It is a minefield that ordinary, well-meaning Americans walk every day, many of them never suspecting that the next step might mean disaster. Or that the disaster could have been averted had they not made themselves a target for daring to disagree with people in power.
