I was assured that Gorsuch was really bad. Dangerous, even. Something about a dissent and a trucking company. And assisted suicide. BAD! DANGEROUS!

Looking back for some of the Gorsuch commentary and found this gem from Trump's second day in office. LOL

To textualism.

The results of the decision are a good thing. But Gorsuch expanding the meaning of sex far outside of what the Civil Rights Act intended is a problem.

Also, it's more likely for one of the "conservative" five to cross over to side with the "liberal" judges than the other way around. But somehow, the conservatives are the ideologues.

The Alito dissent was a fun read, took off the gloves and really went at Gorsuch. I didn't think I would ever see a Justice refer to another Justice as the captain of a pirate ship.

The liberal justices always vote liberal. You can't say the same about the conservative justices.

Kavanaugh’s dissent was actually very tepid, if you would take the time to read it.
Reasonable people sometimes disagree and don’t call the other side Fascists or Nazis, like *some* do.

Liberals seriously don't want any difference of opinion on anything. They will try to destroy you...

Some employees of a Shake Shack in New York poisoned police officers with bleach in their milk shakes.

We are horrified by the reports of police officers injured at our 200 Broadway Shack in Manhattan. We are working with the police in their investigation right now.

There are some exceptions to my general aversion to police brutality. I could look the other way for the people responsible for this.
