What do you think? He says he will uphold Heller. Hopefully if Kolbe v. Hogan gets appealed to the SCOTUS, he will rule in our favor.

Kennedy is rumored to be wavering on Heller, so even with Gorsuch the outcome is uncertain. RBG or one of the other left leaning judges would need to be replaced before I have any confidence the post-Heller 2A Two-Step by the Circuits will be brought to an end by a new SCOTUS ruling.

Concur. Gorsuch merely keeps things from getting worse. We need a shift in the balance for matters to improve.

Between Gorsuch and Feinstein, there is no contest..... She is way out of her league

+1 Ginsburg. She's 84 ya know and has shot her mouth off once too often. It's time for her to retire.

Not too sure about this website but is sums up how I feel:

84 years old....she is out of touch with what goes on in the real world. isn't it time for her partzheimers to progress to Alzheimer's?

 

[Mightydog]

Exactly, how can she rule on a case if she's "resting" her eyes most of the time?

Probably has a fair number of left leaning clerks and par-legals to remind her how to rule.

The more I hear him speak and answer questions and provide explanations, the more I like him.

Same. Hearing people like Gorsuch speak makes me consider bailing property management and starting over as a paralegal or law clerk.

 

[Not_an_outlaw]

He is awfully smooth. That in itself leads me to take pause.

 

[rockstarr]

im not even confident in the idea of Kolbe even being appealed to the SC, let alone them take the case.

 

[danb]

So far, so good. I am a little surprised at how restrained the hearings have been.

Democrats would be dumb to delay the inevitable and trigger the nuke. It would put them in a really bad position for the next one. McConnell should limit debate to thirty hours and move on.

 

[ironpony]

Don't count Ginsburg out, she opened a twitter account Monday and the Dem's favorite movie is "Weekend at Bernie's"! j/k.

 

[BeoBill]

Kennedy has loudly hinted at retirement and RBG may just die on the job, so

 

[teratos]

He's answering the way a good justice should. He's there to apply the Constitution, not have opinions.

 

[Mr H]

RBG may just die on the job, so

How would they tell?

Easy... no wine glasses to clean.

If Judges are ruling based on what Trump said during his campaign, does that mean that Ginsburg should recuse herself in cases where Trump or his administration is a party to a case before her?

She did say a couple of times she didn't like him.

 

[Mr H]

Quit making sense.

Yes she absolutely should but like any good zealot she won't and will continue to claim impartiality.
