Review: None of Gorsuch’s opinions overturned by Supreme Court

In more than a decade on a federal appeals court, Judge Neil Gorsuch never had one of his own written opinions overturned by the Supreme Court, according to the questionnaire he delivered to Capitol Hill over the weekend in preparation for an eventual confirmation hearing.

The questionnaire kicks off the confirmation process, and runs tens of thousands of pages long, covering opinions issued, law review articles written, notes from courses taught at universities and speeches given. Judge Gorsuch’s version even includes audio files linking to some of those speeches.

The questionnaire is also an early test of the way the judge plans to present himself to the senators who will sit in judgment of him, and he appears to be staking out ground as a voice for everyday Americans — and for Congress and the courts — against an expansive executive branch.

Well then, he cannot be a good government employee if he actually does his job well. Maybe he should be promoted to "Director of Special Projects" for the federal court system.

Director of Special Programs/Projects = titles given to inept government employees that cannot be fired.

So, I assume he never sat on the 9th district court of appeals.

so, he wants to take action against an expansive executive branch???? You mean like the actions of the current resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? Seems there is a basic philosophical difference here!
