Opinion in Brief

Ken Blackwell: “On April 10, Justice Neil Gorsuch will celebrate his first anniversary on the United States Supreme Court. President Donald Trump and his supporters should celebrate as well, because in Gorsuch, Trump kept one of his core campaign promises to the American people. … During the campaign Clinton boasted that she had ‘a bunch of litmus tests’ for her nominees, meaning she expected them not to be impartial and approach each case on its merits but to vote certain ways to achieve her preferred policy ends. In sharp contrast, Trump offered a list that was carefully crafted to include only thoughtful, principled jurists with a record of interpreting the Constitution with both originalism and textualism. In doing so, he gave Americans a voice in determining the direction of the Supreme Court. … Gorsuch’s track record from his first year on the bench shows Trump — and the American people — chose well. Since his confirmation, Gorsuch has consistently argued in defense of Americans’ constitutional rights. … Justice Gorsuch has said that the duty of a judge ‘is to say what the law is, not what it should be.’ That is the hallmark of a fair and independent judge — precisely the sort Trump promised voters.”
