judge gorsuch was summed up pretty well by the editorial board of "the chicago tribune," again not exactly the r.n.c.'s mouthpiece. and in endorsing neil gorsuch, they said, and i quote, here is a judge who knows the law and knows the role of the judiciary. he isn't on the bench to make law. he's there to interpret it faithfully, because the separation of powers among the branches of government serves our democracy. sometimes the results benefit liberal positions. sometimes conservative. some of course such as critics think judges should be creative and expansive depending on the political climate, to treat laws differently on a cold night than on a warm night. those critics fear -- suggest that they fear gorsuch won't follow the law but the oppose they fear is true. they fear he will. gorsuch should be confirmed. mr. president, if our democratic colleagues aren't willing to confirm neil gorsuch to the supreme court, then there's no one that they're going to confirm to the supreme court. and we cannot allow a democratic minority to block an up-or-down vote and deny filling the vaca
