@Mayor17Ian @newsmax That is up to Congress to pass laws regulating & relating to those conditions. But the interpretation & not law making is up to the court. And if there is change in Constitution--ending slavery, it is effected by the people through their elected lawmakers. — PolitiTweet.org

SW (Smarter Wife) & I listened to youtube of address to Congress by @netanyahu in 2015 to put us in upbeat mood before Israeli election. Loved how Bibi characterized the Syatollsh & "his goons in Gaza, his lackeys in Lebanon..." — PolitiTweet.org

As moved as I was by Justice Gorsuch's words tonite, I was also made aware of my mortality--recalling how I covered his Mom, the late EPA head (1981-82) Anne Gorsuch Burford & once gave her memoir as a b'day present to a friend. — PolitiTweet.org

@stephiegal People tell me they were at law school w. notables but were studying so hard they didn't know them. My friend Ken Kramer, later congressman & federal judge, was a Harvard Law classmate of Beneficial Chmn. Finn Casperson (who recently committed suicide), but couldn't recall him. — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Gorsuch recalled how he had to wait until he was in law school to hear the term "originalism"--uttered in a lecture by Justice Antonin Scalia. (Apoarently, Barack Obama heard it for the 1st time as well--he & Gorsuch were classmates at Harvard Law). — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Gorsuch evoked a few gasps when he said the Supreme Ct. heard only 70 cases a yr. "I served w. judges in Colorado who heard 70 cases a day, & that was before lunch!" — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Gorsuch recalled how once before coming out to hear a case, Justice Sotomayor was wearing a robe with pinstripes. "It turns out the Yankees were having a winning streak," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Lawyers, observed Justice Gorsuch, "are the only ones who get to regulate themselves." — PolitiTweet.org

The junior justice on the CT. always hosts a dinner for the incoming justice, so Justice Gorsuch was the host of Justice Kavanaugh. "I learned he was a Nats fan," said Gorsuch, "so we had two of the presidents who are Nats mascots come to the Supreme Ct. for dinner." — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

Justice Gorsuch left audience at Nat'l. Archive speechless by saying "only 25-33% of Supreme Ct. cases are decided 5-to-4--the same since 1945, when 8 of the 9 justices were appointed by the same President (FDR)." Today's justices were named by 5 different presidents." — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Gorsuch said he & Byron White are the only two Supreme Court justices from Colorado--& he is the only justice to sit with a justice for whom he once clerked (Anthony Kennedy). — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

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
