Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch on the Constitution, law and his fellow Justices

[Disir]

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch labels himself an “Originalist.”

“I don’t do politics. I stick to my lane. I’m a judge,” Gorsuch explained.

In an exclusive sit-down interview, Gorsuch told “America’s Newsroom” host Sandra Smith that he believes in the words of the Constitution.

“Honor those words. Don’t make stuff up and don’t take things away,” he told Smith.

The Justice from Colorado was appointed, after a confirmation process, in March of 2017. He had previously clerked with multiple Justices—Justice Anthony Kennedy and Justice Byron White—as well as Judge David B. Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

It's an interesting interview.

‘“Honor those words. Don’t make stuff up and don’t take things away,” he told Smith.’

A jurist should honor the case law and understand that the Constitution exists solely in the context of that case law.

Judicial interpretation is not ‘making stuff up’; it was the intent of the Framers that the courts interpret what the Constitution means.

And settled, accepted case law should not be ‘taken away’ solely because a jurist believes that it conflicts with his subjective judicial dogma.
