A NEIL GORSUCH READING LIST
We’re now in the opening round of a long fight for the stolen Supreme Court seat. Please join us in calling the Senate at www.weekly-resistance.online. Make sure they know right from the start that #WeSayNo and we will hold them accountable for blocking the billionaires’ best friend Neil Gorsuch.
But we need to prepare ourselves to keep battling, and that begins with learning more about him. We’ll find out a lot in the weeks ahead, but here’s a good list of articles for you to start with:
SCOTUSBlog: “Potential Nominee Profile: Neil Gorsuch.”
Washington Post: “Neil Gorsuch Naturally Equipped for His Place on Trump’s Supreme Court Shortlist.”
Newsweek: “A look at Neil Gorsuch, a possible Trump Supreme Court nominee.”
National Law Journal: “Three Things To Know About Neil Gorsuch.”
National Review: “Neil Gorsuch: A Worthy Heir to Scalia.”
A 2005 column in National Review by Gorsuch in which he attacks “liberals” for seeking progressive change through the courts, and specifically criticizes their approach to securing marriage equality.
Ed Whelan discusses Gorsuch’s anti-choice credentials at the National Review.
Ian Milhiser with a mostly plain English explanation of Gorsuch’s extreme views on administrative law, which could create huge burdens for the government protecting us from corporate abuses and are to the right of Scalia’s.
An academic analysis blog post from the Yale Journal on Regulation on Gorsuch’s extreme views on administrative law.
A more personal profile of Gorsuch from SCOTUSBlog.
AP sets the stage for the battle to come.
Politico reviews Trump’s plan to get the nominee through.
New York Times, “How a Trump Supreme Court Pick Could (or Could Not) Sway Cases.”
FiveThirtyEight, “How Trump’s Nominee Will Alter the Supreme Court.”
Slate with a history of the rise of the Federalist Society – one of the groups of turn-back-the-clock extremists backed by ultra-conservative billionaires who hand-picked Gorsuch.
If you haven’t had the chance to call your senators to tell them you want them to do everything in their power to keep Gorsuch off the #SupremeCourt, make the call with the #WeeklyResisters at www.weekly-resistance.online. If you have, reblog this post – let’s get as many people engaged as possible. This is one of the most important moments of any presidency, and with a president with such a clear contempt for the Constitution it’s even more crucial than usual.
