Shortly
after Donald Trump announced the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme
Court, it was revealed that Gorsuch had picked a Henry Kissinger quotation
to caption his 1988 Columbia yearbook photograph: “The illegal we
do immediately, the unconstitutional takes a little longer.”
-Henry Kissinger, August 29, 1967

It’s
an odd remark for someone whose primary credential is his supposed textual
fidelity to the Constitution, but then people often change from their
college days. Yet many questions remain about our President’s first
nominee for the Supreme Court.
In nominating
Tenth Circuit Judge Neil Gorsuch, a Harvard Law School graduate who was
unanimously confirmed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2006 by
George W. Bush, President Trump believes he has effectively chosen to
restore the Court to the status quo. Unfortunately, a number of strong
Constitutional conservatives are not so sure.

Constitutional conservatives are not so sure.
In my
February article, The Pros and
Cons of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, I stated the facts as we knew them,
hoping my readers would come to their own decision on the man, but now
even more about this judge has come to light. There are some good things,
and there are some very disturbing things that we need to immediately
consider.

A very
troubling factor to me was the fact that Neil Gorsuch was a term member
of the Council on Foreign Relations, listed in the 2008 CFR Annual Report
Membership Roster. He is not listed in the 2017 Annual Report, but is
listed as a member in his 2006 nomination by President George W. Bush.

Judge
Gorsuch’s record indicates that he is neither a staunch defender
nor a harsh critic of immigrants’ rights. (We’re talking about
illegal immigrants here.) In his time on the bench, Judge Gorsuch has
dealt with only a handful of prominent immigration law cases. Of those,
he has ruled in favor of the immigrant slightly less than half of the
time.

However,
while Judge Gorsuch and Justice Scalia are similar in many ways, many
have noted that they disagreed sharply on how much deference to give
to federal agencies’ interpretations of the law.

Under
what’s known as “Chevron
deference,” courts play only a limited role in reviewing an
agency’s interpretation of a law within its area of expertise. Although
Justice Scalia was a staunch supporter of this principle, Judge Gorsuch
has openly criticized Chevron deference, asserting instead that only
judges should get to decide what the law is.

Do
you see the danger here? This would lead anyone to understand
that Judge Gorsuch could side with the tyrannical judges who have stopped
the Constitutionally legal executive orders of our President, Donald J.
Trump, who wishes to limit the influx of Islamic foreigners immigrating
to the United States, (foreigners who may well be a danger to American
citizens that our President has sworn to protect), to oppose our President’s
Constitutional duty and legality.

To top
it off, our globalist Vice
President is taking the exact opposite opinion of his boss and saying,
“A judge ‘certainly’ has the right to stop Trump’s
travel ban.” I’m sorry, VP Pence, but the Constitution allows
the Executive branch to deny entry into the United States. [Link]
It has been done in the past by Democrats
Jimmy Carter, and Barack Hussein Obama. The President has sworn to
protect American citizens!

Remember
VP Pence’s pledge of commitment to the unelected councils (read
Soviet) of the dictatorial European Union! [Link]
And, God forbid anything happens to our President because with globalist
Pence, you can forget the wall, forget repealing Obamacare, forget stopping
the trade deals, and everything else that encouraged us all to vote for
the man who spoke our language.

The
Drudge Report
revealed a Bloomberg
article where some experts and academics say Gorsuch’s criticism
of executive overreach
in the Gutierrez-Brizuela
case and others could lead him to reach decisions at odds with the
45th president’s policies. The judge’s thinking in those cases
is likely to be a subject of intense interest in confirmation hearings
next week.

Here’s
the Bloomberg Story:
the Bloomberg Story:
A
Mexican immigrant who twice entered the U.S. illegally has one man in
particular to thank for being able to live and work in Oklahoma City
with his family — Judge Neil M. Gorsuch.Gorsuch,
the nominee President Donald Trump is betting on to be his Supreme Court
tie-breaker, wrote a 2016 ruling permitting Hugo Rosario Gutierrez-Brizuela
to stay in the U.S. and, his lawyer hopes, within a few years become
a citizen.“Without
it we were done,” said Timothy Cook, the attorney. Had the decision
gone the other way, Gutierrez-Brizuela would have been promptly deported,
he said.As
Trump vows to fight all the way to the nation’s top court to preserve
his temporary ban on travel from six mostly Muslim nations and immigration
agents turn to more aggressive tactics on city streets, Gorsuch’s
conservative credentials have been hailed as likely to swing the divided
court in the president’s favor.But
as lawmakers scrutinize Gorsuch’s decade-long tenure on a federal
appeals court for clues about how he might rule on hot-button issues
such as abortion and gun control, his record shows that on immigration
rights, he can’t be easily categorized.Moreover,
some experts and academics say Gorsuch’s criticism of executive
overreach in the Gutierrez-Brizuela case and others could lead him to
reach decisions at odds with the Republican president’s policies.
The judge’s thinking in those cases is likely to be a subject
of intense interest in confirmation hearings next week.
Conclusion
I am
not at all convinced that this choice coming from the left leaning Federalist
Society is one that will resonate with the Trump supporting American electorate.

Gorsuch
belongs to an extremely liberal, pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage church,
and he and his wife and daughters are very involved in this church.

Secondly,
Gorsuch’s stance in this Gutierrez-Brizuela case would worry anyone
about American citizens’ safety with this judge on the Supreme Court.

Please
pray for our President, and pray for our nation. And above all, get off
your couch and get involved. Run for a county commissioner seat, city
council, school board, whatever. Trump is giving us an opportunity of
a lifetime to take America back, if not for yourself do it for your grandchildren.
The corrupt swamp is not just in Washington DC, it’s also in your state,
county and city government as well.
