- Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill writes in The Hill that Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch will bring needed perspective to the Court – a message that may be noticed by Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN).
Indiana AG: Judge Neil Gorsuch will bring needed perspective to Supreme Court
“Once he is confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Judge Neil Gorsuch will help keep the court connected to bedrock principles that, regrettably, have gradually lost favor in recent decades — principles such as strict constructionism, states’ rights federalism and religious freedom…As Indiana Attorney General, I work daily to ensure our state hits the proper marks established by federal law. Judge Gorsuch made a statement in a 2016 dissent that should fill with hope the heart of every American who believes in the rule of law rather than the rule of men. ‘A judge who likes every result he reaches is very likely a bad judge,’ Gorsuch wrote, ‘reaching for results he prefers rather than those the law compels.’ Never has our nation needed such clarity from our Supreme Court as it needs it today.”
- Jess Bravin and Brent Kendall write in the Wall Street Journal that Judge Neil Gorsuch’s “unfailingly respectful” personality could shift the dynamic on the Supreme Court.

“While Judge Gorsuch has some similarities to Justice Scalia, the new nominee is sure to bring a different dynamic. People who know Judge Gorsuch, who currently serves on the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, say he is unfailingly respectful and, as his former law clerk Katherine Yarger put it, ‘extraordinarily careful with his word choice, tone and his approach when communicating with other judges.’ ‘It’s an approach that will serve him well,’ said Ms. Yarger, who later clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas and now practices law at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.”
