...Thomas and Gorsuch dissented vociferously, essentially declaring that the Second Amendment grants individuals a right to carry loaded firearms in public Not even the archconservative Alito joined their bizarre opinion. It appears Gorsuch is eager to strike down almost any law that limits the right “to keep and bear arms” in any way. If adopted by the court, Gorsuch’s theory would effectively bar state and local governments from passing almost any kind of gun safety legislation.

The article goes on and concludes at the end:

When Trump first nominated Gorsuch, I was relieved he hadn’t picked an outright lunatic, and I felt cautiously optimistic that Gorsuch might be less of a hard-line conservative than liberals believed. I was wrong. Gorsuch is the worst kind of justice. He is a reactionary who dresses up his cruel, antediluvian views in folksy charm; who professes restraint while espousing extreme, sweeping views; who has no sympathy for vulnerable minorities but believes Christians are being oppressed. And he will guide the course of the law for the next 30 years or more. He is a catastrophe for proponents of civil rights and equal justice. And his influence over the court only stands to grow.

In related news, FReeper Pinkbell, who expressed skepticism about Gorsuch, joyfully eats crow today.

Yes. Yes. And Trump is all they feared and more, too.

Delightful.

[BenLurkin]

Isn’t bearing arms one of our “civil liberties?”

“He is a catastrophe for proponents of civil rights and equal justice. And his influence over the court only stands to grow. “

Over the target and taking flak; Judge Gorsuch is our guy. :)

When was the last time a Democrat nominated a less than flaming liberal to the court?

Slate doesn’t like him? Proof positive he is the right man for SCOTUS. Slate’s probably crying, because legalization of pedophilia ain’t going to happen this year.

Best thing I have read all day. SLATE melting down. AWESOME!

[Gorsuch] is an uncompromising reactionary and an unmitigated disaster for the progressive constitutional project

WTF is the "progressive constitutional project"?

[Jim Noble]

By all means, let's hear more about this "project".

...

Upholding the Constitution is extreme to the liberals.

Thanks for posting the happy news.

[libstripper]

Thank you, thank you for posting this without a barf alert. It brilliantly shows what a great pick this was by OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP. May there be three or more such fantastic picks.

[ScottinVA]

Glad to see the libs fear Gorsuch as they do. Now we need at least four more of his kind on the SCOTUS.

[Hugin]

Mwaaa-ha-ha!

Two or three more, please. The dumb RATS even forced Myrtle to dump the filibuster, so now they have nothing next time.

[Drew68]

On Monday, Justice Neil Gorsuch revealed himself to be everything that liberals had most feared: pro-gun, pro–travel ban, anti-gay, anti–church/state separation. He is certainly more conservative than Justice Samuel Alito and possibly to the right of Justice Clarence Thomas. He is an uncompromising reactionary and an unmitigated disaster for the progressive constitutional project. And he will likely serve on the court for at least three more decades.

You say this like it's a bad thing.

That and those who doubted Trump as well
