Neil Gorsuch, with each answer he provides to the Senate Judiciary Committee, confirms his allegiance to the law and its authority, not to the caprices of politicians, fashionable causes du jour or fads
As United States Supreme Court Candidate Neil Gorsuch is questioned, scrutinized and skewered by the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, the underlying issue that is skirted, and apparently misunderstood by many of the members, is the proper role of a judge. Many seem to think that a sitting justice serves at the behest of politicians, imposing the "correct" thinking of the day according to their interpretation. More or less, they believe a judge should be actively working to promote the enlightened political agenda. Other members appear careful to inquire whether Gorsuch will follow the law irrespective of popular wisdom that is generally anything but wise.
Gorsuch, in his opening statement, said that he would be a "faithful servant of the Constitution" and "apply the law impartially." But there is a long legacy of serving the greater good in judging the affairs of men... that greater entity being God.
