Leftmedia Attempts Hit Piece on Gorsuch

But he’s proving to be an excellent choice for the Supreme Court.

The New York Times decided to help out its Democrat buddies by running a story clearly designed to be used as a hit piece against Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. The Times article, entitled “Neil Gorsuch Has Web of Ties to Secretive Billionaire,” attempted to paint Gorsuch as a puppet of the wealthy conservative business man Philip Anschutz, due to the fact that Gorsuch had previously worked for the man years ago when he was a lawyer. The story submits no compelling evidence supporting its insinuation of corruption and offers little anecdotal evidence besides. It’d be laughable if it weren’t so outrageous. The best they could come up with is that Gorsuch and some executives at Anschutz’s companies decided to go in together on buying a vacation house. Shocking, no?

This story contains about as much news as Rachel Maddow’s silly reveal of Trump’s 2005 tax return. There’s no there, there. Gorsuch had already disclosed all his prior business ties, including his having worked for Anschutz. He has also recused himself from hearing any cases involving his former clients. The fact that Gorsuch is friends with former clients is only natural. Besides, it’s not as if Anschutz is some nefarious fellow. His business assets are well known and are all above board.

The problem for the Leftmedia and Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is their belief that a judge should base his rulings primarily upon social activists’ concerns, not upon the Constitution and the letter of the law. Gorsuch has a sound and proven track record of ruling appropriately, even if he thinks that a given statute may need changes. In his rulings, he has repeatedly recognized and emphasized that a judge is bound and limited by the law, and that it’s the role of legislators, not judges, to create laws. That’s why Gorsuch presents such a threat to leftists and their disregard for the Rule of Law.

With activist justices such as Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg already on the bench, it’s indeed refreshing to hear a judge speak so clearly about the limits set upon the judicial branch by the Constitution. The more Democrats and the Leftmedia attempt to smear Gorsuch, the more he’s proving to be an excellent choice for the Supreme Court.
