Justice Gorsuch Rues Loss Of Civility In Public Life

September 7, 2019 9:12 am

WASHINGTON (AP) – Justice Neil Gorsuch is following the path of Supreme Court colleagues-turned-authors in a new book in which he laments the loss of civility in public discourse. The 52-year-old justice says in an interview with The Associated Press that he wrote “A Republic, If You Can Keep It” because Americans should remember that their political opponents “love this country as much as we do.” But Gorsuch has little to say about the president who appointed him to the Supreme Court and who routinely brands his opponents dopes, losers, liars and worse. When asked about President Donald Trump’s rough speech, Gorsuch says he’s not going to talk about politics.
