LOL: Neil Gorsuch's New Book Laments Loss Of Civility

Justice Neil Gorsuch is following the path of Supreme Court colleagues-turned-authors in a new book in which he laments the loss of civility in public discourse.

The 52-year-old justice wrote “A Republic, If You Can Keep It” because Americans should remember that their political opponents “love this country as much as we do,” Gorsuch said in an interview with The Associated Press in his Supreme Court office. The book is being published Tuesday.

Putin's many puppets do not love this country. They only love themselves. Moscow Mitch, Traitor Trump, the NRA, the suck up Supremes, all of them love Russian money much, much more.

...to get revenge against Obama. All Chump ever cares about is getting revenge, and he has said as much in his books. It's easy enough to fake civility with totalitarian despots though.

Or Donald Trump bemoaning the disappearance of chivalry.

Have a beer, Neil. I'm sure fellow Justice Brett will tout its soothing, therapeutic qualities.

Dems should be calling for Gorsuch’s impeachment. It will never happen in today’s Senate. But we should build popular support for impeaching Gorsuch. And yes, the Constitution allows the House to impeach judges for the reasons they deem proper, including being nominated by a president who stole the election into a stolen seat.

- talk about impeaching the Trump judges- get the idea out into the zeitgeist

And when we take the White House in 2020:
- expand each court by two seats for every Trump judge, to nullify their votes. This is totally possible: can be done with simple majorities in Congress and with the president in D hands.

Governing by Owning the Libs - When a president’s entire motivation is to antagonize the people who didn’t vote for him.

Here's a DU thread on the Slate article, https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212432960 but this is what really stood out to me, cuz this is exactly what the GOP & republicans believe.

Levitz was responding to the president’s expressions of contempt for Puerto Rico, as another hurricane closed in on the island, and to a Trump-Pence fundraising email declaring, of the Democrats, “this is our country, not theirs.”


There is an undercurrent of "Only we are true Americans" throughout the entire republican party.

He permitted himself to be nominated as Supreme Court Justice, knowing that Merrick Garland had been on hold by Mitch McConnell for a year. Mr Gorsuch knew that. Yet, he permitted it to continue and to allow his name put forth. Did he have to do it? Would almost everyone else have done it? After all, Supreme Court Justice.
