See link for side by side comparisons of the texts.

Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch copied the structure and language used by several authors and failed to cite source material in his book and an academic article, according to documents provided to POLITICO.

The documents show that several passages from the tenth chapter of his 2006 book, “The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia,” read nearly verbatim to a 1984 article in the Indiana Law Journal. In several other instances in that book and an academic article published in 2000, Gorsuch borrowed from the ideas, quotes and structures of scholarly and legal works without citing them.

“Each of the individual incidents constitutes a violation of academic ethics. I've never seen a college plagiarism code that this would not be in violation of,” said Rebecca Moore Howard, a Syracuse University professor who has written extensively on the issue.

Elizabeth Berenguer, an associate professor of law at Campbell Law School, said that under legal or academic standards Gorsuch’s similarities to the Indiana Law Journal would be investigated “as a potential violation of our plagiarism policy. It’s similar enough to the original work.”

“I would apply an academic writing standard,” said Berenguer, who teaches plagiarism and legal writing. “Even if it were a legal opinion, it would be plagiarism under either.”

1. This man is NOT Supreme Court quality material. Every one of his 'opinions & writings is plagiarism.

[HoneyBadger]

2. Do you have a link?

The article does not appear to say that. Even the plagiarized author does not say that.

[Sunlei]

4. The man has ONE BOOK, he copied, STOLE STUFF to write one book. go google it.

Say hello to Putin

[HoneyBadger]

16. You said opinions and writings

[Sunlei]

18. Like his written court opinion- last week Supreme Court said was WRONG, incorrect, wrong decision.

Honey Badger.

14. yeah, it's a dicey as serious plagiarism... I don't think it will change anything

[Sunlei]

27. seems he used this "assisted suicide Issue" at all 3 of the colleges he attended. Real Journalists

Real Journalists and our elected Gov. personal Aides have a lot of checking to do to properly Vet this mans background. two weeks is not enough time to even call for any "votes".

26. Thats ok, when on the SCOTUS he will have briefing attorneys write for him

and he can claim their work too!

sarcasm

[Achilleaze]

3. "At least I didn't commit perjury yet, like AG Jeffy Sessions." - Gorsuch

Thus we see plainly why the VERY FIRST THING the republicans tried to do when they took power in January was to shitcan the ETHICS office.

Republicans do not do ethics, morality or basic honesty. They are unfit to govern, unfit to judge, unfit for duty.

[Sunlei]

5. Republicans are trying again to CRAM another liar, fraud, faker, into Americas government.

VOTE NO , even Republicans with a fucking spine if there are ANY? should VOTE NO!

AMERICANS DESERVE BETTER!!

[BainsBane]

6. Now this is disqualifying

At least it should be.

Why did it take so long to discover?

[DFW]

7. He's a Republican. NOTHING is disqualifying

Anita Hill outed Clarence Thomas as a perpetrator of sexual harassment. That didn't disqualify him. Trump has exactly zero capacity for carrying out the duties of the presidency. That didn't disqualify him, either.

The one bastion of hope for this is that it snowballs into a scandal within the next day or so to the point where the embarrassment gets to dominating the headlines. Not just MSNBC, but CNN and major networks as well, and if the Wall Street Journal gets on board by Thursday, that might do the trick. Then and only then would the sum total of all this be enough, and Gorsuch will remove his name from consideration. But there are no Russians flooding our Social media with this. Fox Noise and National Hate Radio will treat it as a non-event, so three quarters of the Republicans in Congress won't even know about it.

Calling Stephen Colbert!

[BainsBane]

9. Problem is there is so much going on

They are unlikely to focus relentlessly on this.

[DFW]

11. Maybe some of the Dems participating in the filibuster can read it into the Congressional record

That way, it is permanently (and publicly) on the record, and quotable for the next 30 years in case Gorsuch ever gets seated.

[BainsBane]

12. Good idea

[Sunlei]

20. In the record now is Gorsuch, "refused" to answer the question who his 'backers' are.

Refused to answer that question!

Like he's not proud of what people and groups BACKED him for the Supreme Court position/nomination.

[DFW]

21. If he knows who all of them are

That might be even worse than if he didn't (though that would be pretty damning, too).

[Sunlei]

23. His backers are his only "Character References" Americans have to help base opinion on for votes.

SC is way to important a job/position to pass/yes vote- with such a deceptive interview process.

He'd never be hired by a legit business.

[Mc Mike]

8. I'm supremely unsurprised at his sleazy lack of integrity and intellect, and his theft. rec, Nt

[caroldansen]

10. So then what happens now can he still run for office?

[WillowTree]

32. He's not running for any office.

And he can be seated on the USSC if he gets the votes in the Senate.

[Turbineguy]

13. Euthanasia.

An important part of any truly republican health plan. The only difference is, you don't gently go to sleep, you suffer pain and degradation.

[yardwork]

15. If this was a screenplay nobody would buy it.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. You Said It

Everyone reading it would say "Oh, come on!"

[kpete]

22. To which the Republicans will reply:

"This just proves that he, or someone he knows, can read and write, which qualifies him for a seat on the Supreme Court."

[Sunlei]

24. write a crappy over priced book & Republicans will buy thousands of them to pass money to him.

faster than flipping real estate around.

[dalton99a]

28. How lazy and dishonest is that

[FBaggins]

29. There's a problem there

The image clearly shows citation markings on both. To what work(s) do each refer?

[TheBlackAdder]

25. He's a model Republican--Steal shit without attribution. Why invent the wheel when you can steal it?

30. Plagiarism is not a key quality to be on the SCOTUS

[dreamland]

31. Seems to be a quality to be a member of the dTrump team

First there was his wife, Melanoma and then there is Monica Crowley and Betsy DeVos and now I'm not surprised.
