Neil Gorsuch is an absolute GENIUS compared to the idiotic liberal senators questioning him

Judge Neil Gorsuch is simply fantastic.

On Tuesday this week, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee made a reference to Charlie Brown in response to a question from Senator Diane Feinstein. Making a case for judicial restrain, Gorsuch said, “Well senator, that reminded me of, you know, when Charlie Brown is going in to kick the ball and Lucy picks it up at the last second. And that struck me as raising serious due process concerns, fair notice and separation of powers concerns. When a executive bureaucracy can overturn a judicial precedent without an act of Congress.”

It’s no surprise that liberals like Senator Feinstein and Chuck Schumer detest this man with every fiber of their beings. But to understand this vitriol, one has to understand who Judge Gorsuch is, and even more than that, who he isn’t.  

In the second presidential debate, Hillary Clinton was asked a question about her vision for the Supreme Court. In response, Clinton gave an answer that sounded as though it was pulled directly off the DNC website. “I want a Supreme Court that will stick with Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose, and I want a Supreme Court that will stick with marriage equality,” she said. Clinton added that she wanted a Supreme Court that “doesn’t always side with corporate interests,” and one that understands that “because you’re wealthy and you can give more money to something doesn’t mean you have any more rights … than anybody else.”

Hillary Clinton (and most other democrats for that matter) believe that the Supreme Court needs to become an institution that advances progressivism and continuously rejects conservative constitutionalism. They want all of the Justices to take a partisan, one-sided approach to interpreting the law and applying it to modern day politics. The only problem with this strategy is that it’s not how the Supreme Court was originally supposed to operate.

It goes without saying that judges must reject partisan politics, and if they have their own opinions on certain issues, those opinions are not supposed to impact decisions that are made. Judges aren’t supposed to say, “I’m a liberal so I’m going to rule as one in every case that comes before me.” Rather, Justices on the Supreme Court need only to adhere to the United States Constitution and the rule of law. In other words, there is no room for Democrats or Republicans in the highest court in the land; there is only room for strict constitutionalists.

In a memorial tribute to the late Justice Scalia, Gorsuch said, “Judges should instead strive … to apply the law as it is … not to decide cases based on their own moral convictions or the policy consequences they believe might serve society best.” Indeed, this is the reason why so many conservatives are so fond of Gorsuch, just as they were fond of Scalia – it’s not because these men are Republicans, but because they are constitutionalists.

When compared to the intellectual capacity of the liberal democrats questioning him, Gorsuch comes across as an absolute genius.

At one point during the confirmation hearing, Diane Feinstein explained her concerns about Judge Neil Gorsuch, and in doing so, made herself look like a fool. “I find this originalist judicial philosophy to be really troubling,” the California senator said. “I firmly believe the American Constitution is a living document, intended to evolve as our country evolves.”

But to say that the Constitution is a “living and breathing document” is an oxymoron, similar to saying “jumbo shrimp” or “deafening silence.” A nation’s constitution, by definition, is the foundation it is built upon. It is the one thing that is supposed to remain the same, even as society changes around it. If the Founding Fathers meant for the Constitution to be changed for political expediency, what would be the point of establishing a Constitution at all?
