But your relative. Alright, all joking aside, I did think Judge Gorsuch, in response to open invitations to knock it out of the park by Senator Cruz, did just that. He enunciated pretty well that labels, like "originalist," do not fathom the nuances of judicial philosophy and deciding actual cases before the Court. While Judge Garland was denied a hearing and a vote by the very folks who claim such strong bond with Framer's intent, I do think Judge Gorsuch will be confirmed. He is beyond qualified.

Funny, I didn't hear anything like that. I heard him say labels are a form of bigotry, and as such have stymied civil discourse of late. Such as when Democrats call Republicans racists, or that they are prejudiced, or white supremacists, scumbags, liars, misogynists, or against women, or that they are greedy white men, or intolerant, out of touch, or against immigration, or homophobes, zenophobes, jihadists, arsonists, terrorists, etc. etc..

And I didn't hear him use the word nuance even once. I did hear him say politics have absolutely no place among the court. Judge Garland was denied because he, like the highly politicized judges in Washington State, Hawaii and Maryland have clearly demonstrated, would likely tend to run over existing law using his position to become the ultimate activist.

I hope if Gorsuch is confirmed that he will stick by his guns and uphold the law as an originalist.
