Let me get this right -- You're making excuses for Bush 41 for not properly vetting Souter but are bashing Gorsuch whose record as record as a judge is nearly perfect.

Who gives rat's behind if Gorsuch sacrifices toads to Satan in his spare time if his rulings are conservative?

Most analysis I've seen of his rulings put him as far to the right as Clarence Thomas.

How much do you want to bet he'll bet a reliable Scalia-like justice for decades?

Well, I'd be willing to bet you'll likely disappear from FR after you're proven wrong and I try to ping you about it, like the FReepers who swore up and down that Marco Rubio was anti-amnesty and called me racist for saying his background makes me seriously doubt that, and the FReepers who screamed at the top of their lungs that Kansas Senator Pat Roberts would morph into an Arlen Specter type RINO if he was re-elected.

Both claims were proven wrong, I was proven right, and now the people screaming the loudest are nowhere to be seen on FR.

You claimed Bush picked a judge who was to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Again, here’s reality:


Initially, from 1990 to 1992, Souter voted strongly conservative. In his first year, he and Scalia voted alike close to 85% of the time; Souter voted with Kennedy and O’Connor about 97% of the time


Following your own logic, we shouldn’t have given a RAT’s behind about Souter’s personal background. He could be performing partial birth abortions as a hobby for all we care, it doesn’t matter! The White House claimed he was an “originalist” and numerous conservative groups vouched for that in 1990. He hadn’t made ANY controversial “liberal” rulings on the New Hampshire Supreme Court at all, so why complain? The fact he voted like Scalia his first two years on the court “proved” he would vote conservative “for decades to come”.

As you currently claim about Gorsuch (who’s personal background is well to the LEFT of Souter, FYI).
