In fact, he is remarkably similar on these metrics to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan. I had the pleasure of serving year-long stints as a law clerk for both Gorsuch (at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit Court) and Kagan (at the Supreme Court). But despite these differences of politics, both my former bosses share a profound commitment to the rule of law. In his commitment to law over politics, he is similar to Kagan, who famously sided with conservatives to invalidate portions of the Affordable Care Act. In times like these, liberals should welcome a nominee like Gorsuch — who is honest, principled and committed to safeguarding the rule of law.
