“following a controversial rule-change”

and yet when harry reid made the very same rule change in 2013 that applied to ALL Federal judge appointments AND ALL other Presidential appointments except Supreme Court, it wasn’t controversial then. But now it is. What’s the difference? Oh, yeah, when Dems did it, it wasn’t “controversial”, but when Pubs do it, it’s controversial.

Yahoo News, you bias is showing through - AGAIN.

Anyone know what circuit he’s going to be assigned? It would be hilarious if they reshuffled and gave him the ninth.

I wish that his mother, Anne Gorsuch, had lived to see her son on the SCOTUS. Sje was President Reagan’s first EPA Director, much abused by the left.

The contrast of Gorsuch to Merrick Garland is striking. Garland never struck down any act by a Federal agency; he essentially saw the power of the Federal government as unchecked and limitless.

Gorsuch, on the other hand, has written opinions questioning the validity of Chevron USA v. Natural Resources Defense Council. "Chevron Deference," as it is known, is the judicial doctrine that says when Congress has only given a broad direction to a Federal agency, the agency has a green light to construe the mandate anyway they want and to essentially do what they want. Gorsuch believes there should be more checks and accountability for the administrative state.

We would never have seen that from a Justice Garland.

Watch for cases that raise questions about "Chevron Deference" in the next few years. That's going to be the hot issue in SCOTUS jurisprudence, and a curtailment of Chevron is the key to returning the Rule of Law to the administrative state and making it subservient to the people.

That's interesting (about Justice Gorsuch's mother)...I didn't know that. I hope he remembers how the Left treated his mom!

Yes, I hope that period proves formative for his consciousness whenever leftist groups bring their spurious cases to SCOTUS.

His mother was more viciously abused than almost anyone I can recall in public life.

Trump just bought the Republic another 20 years of existence. Hopefully he gets to fill another couple vacancies and secures the Republic for a century.

Show some respect Cruz-bots and NeverTrumpers. You doubted him, you slandered him and he has proven you wrong every step of the way. Admit your folly.

It was a once in a lifetime classic.

The meltdown of the never Trump-ers including Megyn Kelly and virtually all the media...stunning!

The looks of incredulousity on their faces and then in their words for days was awe inspiring

It made me giddy when they HAD to announce that he’d done it and Hillary’s little snowflakes had their hissy fits. :)
