As a case of the "living" Constitution, & judges making law & not interpreting it, Justice Gorsuch cited the "Dred Scott" case in which justices upheld blacks being 3/4 people & thus legally classified as slaves. "They did this to avert civil war--& they were wrong," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Gorsuch recalled clerking for his hero, Justice Byron "Whizzer" White, & White asking him how many he could name of the justices whose portraits hang in the court. "About half," Gorsuch replied, to which White said "Me, too. We all will be forgotten as well." — PolitiTweet.org
